Time zones control. How to change?

[sphereless]

I'm new to Ninja and trading. I was playing with my charts and realized I have no idea what time zone they are in and also noticed that they were only running between 7:30 and 13:15 (I'm looking at that charts at the end of the day so I can not tell when time it stopped. I know it says 13:15, but don't know which time zone). I'd like my chart to only show market hours. Any one know how to set that up?

Any help would great,

Sphereless

Hello,

Thank you for your note.

The time on the charts will always be your local PC time zone. Therefor to set this up you will need to change the start and end session times for your time zone to correspond with the market close and open.

Are you using NinjaTrader 6.5 or NinjaTrader 7?

I look forward to assisting you further.

Hello,

The chart time will always be in your local time zone. You can change the session template for the chart in NinjaTrader 7 by right clicking on the chart and selecting data series and then changing the session template for the displayed data. If you want 24 hours worth of data change the session template to Default 24/7.

Please also, make sure that the time zone and time on your PC is correct by double checking this but clicking on the time on your computer in the lower left corner and selecting change date and time to change check that your computer is set to your correct time zone

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

I want only the market hours to show on the ES. I live on the west coast and it does not start my day until 7:30 which is 10:30 EST. For the session template I am leaving it in default. Not sure what to do. I am using ninja 7.

One more thing... When I make a trade these arrows pop up.. Can I remove them?

Thanks
