Hello,

Charts within NinjaTrader are based off of your local PC clock therefore in order to change your chart time to CST you will be required to change your Local PC clock to CST as well.

To change your PC clock please close NinjaTrader-->right mouse click on the PC clock in the lower right hand corner-->Adjust Date/Time-->Change Time Zone-->Select the new time zone-->Click Ok.

Hi, Is this still the case or NT7 charts can be shown in different timezone than our pc time ?

Thank you for your reply.

There have not been changes, the PC time is still used for time used in NinjaTrader 7. Note that time frames on the chart are controlled by the Session Template.

You can check what Session Template is in use on your charts via the Data Series menu (right click on the chart > Data Series).

To view what times the Session Template is referencing, you can use the top drop-down menu of the Session Manager (Tools > Session Manager). Note: Daily charts are loaded in NinjaTrader using the session times as reported via the data provider; to view outside of these times, try loading the daily chart alternatively as a 1440-minute interval.


Let me know if I may assist further.
