How do I use session times in the Central time zone?

[BobTN]

I don't understand how the session times are set. CME index futures ETH uses Central time. Nymex Metals/Energy ETF uses Eastern time for the session time basis.

I live in the Central time zone. The session end line on charts for index futures is correct for my time zone. The session end line for CL is drawn at the Eastern time. It is not converted to my time zone.

Is there a parameter I need to set to tell NT7 that I am in the Central time zone so it will convert the session start and end times?

Hello,

Thank you for your forum post.

This is done in the Session Manager under Control Center->Tools->Session Manager.

What occurs is we know the session time zone of the hours for the instrument in its native time zone. We convert your PC's time to the exchanges time zone to insure that we are displaying data at the correct time for that instrument.

For this to work correctly you need to have the time zone and time correct on your PC. Please right click on your windows time in the bottom right hand corner and select Adjust Date/Time.. Then insure that your Time Zone(Important) and time is correct.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
