Time stamps on historic data export

[NickyD]

I exported historical minute data for ES 03/20 contract by doing:
Tools > Historical Data > Load > Export

Instrument - ES
Interval - Minute
DataType - Last

When I do this, I get price and volume data that seemingly changes for every minute of the day... How can this be? I am expecting to see no transactions occurring 3:30-3:45 / 4:00-5:00pm Central US time. What am I missing?

Hello NickyD,

When exporting data the exported data will automatically be converted to the UTC time zone as opposed to your local PC clock time zone. I have provided a link below to our Help Guide that goes over exporting data.

Yes, I see it now. Thanks.
