Uncertainty about timezone in my script

[Vincere]

Hi,

I'm using UTC+1 for my Time zone and I have downloaded my ES fututes historical data with this config on.

I would like to be sure that when I use : new TimeSpan(16, 00, 0) in my script, it always related to 10:00 Eastern Time (UTC-5) the whole year around.

I am just having a doubt about the potential impact of the Daylight saving time shift.

Alternatevely, is there a way to use something like : "new TimeSpan(10, 00, 0).EST" in my script (keeping UTC+1 in my general config) to ensure the right timing of my strategy ?

Thanks

Hello Vincere,

When you use times in NinjaScript that will correspond to the times you see on the chart, the chart times are converted to the timezone you have selected in the platforms options menu. You would want to use times that match the data that you downloaded if you are trying to check for a certain time on the chart. Whatever 10am eastern appears as on the chart would be what you need to make the timespan use.
