There are 2 factors that affect what time stamps a customer is able to see in his/her chart window in MultiCharts:
# '''Time Zone''' of the chart
# Applied '''Session''' Settings
<br>
==Time Zone of Chart==
'''Local''' time is the system time of your computer, and '''Exchange''' time is the local time at the location where the exchange is based according to QuoteManager. If Exchange time zone is selected in chart settings, the time zone from settings of the exchange (see [[Setting Exchanges & ECNs|Editing the Exchange/ECN]]) that is bound to the plotted on chart symbol in QuoteManager is used.
<div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">'''Note''': it is important to make sure that your current time matches your time zone in your Windows standard clock setting.</div>
<br>
==Session Settings and Session Templates==
In QuoteManager each symbol has its own session settings that are applied automatically once the symbol is added. There are 2 ways to set up session settings for a chart:
# Use '''default''' symbol session settings.
# Use a prebuilt or a custom '''session template'''.
<br>
===Default Symbol Session Settings===
To see this session settings:
# Make a right-click on the symbol in QuoteManager
# Select Edit Symbol…
# Go to Sessions tab.
<div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">'''Note''': If when you create a chart, "default" is set up for sessions in chart settings, the sessions from symbol session settings from QuoteManager will be taken.</div>
<br>
===Prebuilt or Custom Session Template===
When creating a chart, there is a list of prebuilt session templates that one can use: "'''24/7'''", "'''25/5'''", “'''US Stocks (Regular Trading Hours)'''” and so on, ''except for "Default"'''. They are prebuilt in QuoteManager and can be modified or new ones can be added (see [[Setting Custom Session Templates]]).
<div style="background-color: #E5F6FF;">'''Example''': Using “24/7” session template in chart settings will give you the same effect as if you use “24/7” session templates in the symbol settings and on chart you select “default”.
