You can elect select for the Local Time or for the Exchange Time to be displayed on the chart's time scale, by setting the '''Time Zone'''.
<br>'''Local Time''' is the system time of your computer, and the '''Exchange Time''' is the local time at the location where the exchange is based.
<br>
== Setting Time Zone ==
Time Zone is set from the '''Format SymbolInstruments''' window:
# Open the '''Format SymbolInstruments''' window.<br><span>{{FormatSymbol}}</span>
# Select the '''Settings''' tab.
# In the '''Display''' section, in the '''Time Zone''' drop-down list box, choose '''Local''' or '''Exchange''' Time Zone.

==Setting Time Zone for Several Instruments of Chart==
If you need to have several Instruments (data series) in one chart window, the Time Zone setting will work as following:
1 a. If you change the Time Zone of one of the Instruments of the chart to Local, all other Instruments of this chart will also be set to Local.
1 b. If you change the Time Zone of one of the Instruments of the chart to Exchange, all other Instruments will also be changed to Exchange Time Zone '''only''' if the Time Zone settings of all the Instruments are '''identical'''. If the Time Zone settings are different, there will be a message, indicating that it is not possible to set Exchange Time Zone for these Instruments and Local Time Zone should be selected.

2. When you insert a new Instrument (data series) to the chart, all other Instruments will acquire Time Zone settings of the new added Instrument. But it will be possible '''only''' if the Time Zone settings of all the Instruments are '''identical'''. If the Time Zone settings are different, there will be a message, indicating that it is not possible to set Exchange Time Zone for these Instruments and Local Time Zone should be selected.
