Just to be clear: you actually DO see a different time when you change the timezone while IMPORTING data? (as opposed to changing the timezone of your PC).

Hello,
In my testing a had selected the same time zone as my PC. This duplicated these results.
Its seems it actually adds at 12:00 Time stamp that is offset by your PC clock. Not your selected timezone of the improted data. This is specific to daily data only.
Therefor you would need to change your local PC time stamp. Restart NinjaTrader and then import this data in.
Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

What you mention here is a WORKAROUND, but I still consider this a bug. If NT is ignoring the timezone setting of the Historical Data Manager, it should ignore it COMPLETELY and NEVER make a shift in the DATE! Now it is actually doing a conversion at import (and it should), but is is doing it incorrectly.
Here is how it is supposed to work:
NT doesn't find a time in the time in the file so it will set it at 00:00. But when I tell the Historical datamanager that the data originates from a +7 hrs timezone, it should adjust this timestamp to 17:00.
The current bug makes it impossible to EVER align two EOD series properly without doing workarounds like messing with the Windows timezone settings. You should never have to do that. And NT has a built in capability to take care of that (in the historical data manager). I can see that because the historical datamanager will sometimes change the DATE (but never the time). So it IS actually trying to do a timestamp correction at import.
In other words, the functionality is there but a bug prevents it from working properly!
I suggest you discuss this with one of your collegues to check if he agrees that this is a bug of not. In my opinion it most definately is!
Thank you for your support.

Thank You.
If things work properly in NT, I should always be able to find a setting of the timezone that makes the data align properly. This is unfortunately not the case.
