Hi - I have setup the December contract for the Russell using symbol @TFSZ10. I am getting data correctly but the times listed on my chart are way off. I have made a custom template for the session times which I believe is correct.
I have attached a picture of a 5 min chart with the timeline drawn on it so you can see the time listed and also a screenshot of the session template I created for the TF (Hoping I can attach to files to this post but have never tried this). The time being reported is GMT time (+6 hours ahead of my time zone which is US Central).
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

I am not sure how you would want to display the time on your chart,Hi - I have setup the December contract for the Russell using symbol @TFSZ10. I am getting data correctly but the times listed on my chart are way off. I have made a custom template for the session times which I believe is correct.

at exchange time? or your local time?
you can experiment with this:
right click on chart,
select Format Instruments...
under Settings tab
under Display section
select Time Zone
btw, on the session template,
for easy management, you should set it at the exchange's trading hours.

Dear sdewar,
Please check local time zone settings on your machine. Are they correct? Does the system time match with these settings? Also please check the exchange settings for this symbol.

Thanks much everyone with your help I figured it out. I had the exchange set to ICE which in the default MC Exchange List is Iceland which is why my time was off.
I created new Exchange and now everything is working fine.
Thanks again!
Cheers
