TimeZone

[gg80108]

Is there a way I can check to see what the timezone is set to on the PC/NT7?

Hello gg80108,

This is set within Windows. Do a search for your version of Windows + Time Zone

my strategy only trades EST times,, I want to check in my strategy that the timezone is correct

There is no time zone setting in NinjaTrader or your strategy. It's set only with your PC clock.

There is a C# method that converts time objects from local ToUniversalTime().

That method is useful if you need to keep time objects fixed to a specific time zone, but can also just set your time zone to eastern.

Is there any good math functions to subtract the current time from say 080000 and then add or subtract a factor to the current time?.

[NinjaTrader_RyanM1]

You can work with date time objects and add / subtract time. This reference sample offers examples of this:

It's a C# method, so check the MSDN docs for examples. Link to this method is here:
