Time Zones Time Zones Time Zones the curse of the global trader........
In another life I traded using..............intra day Astro!
There I said it.
Confusion you don't want to know about it lol
The easiest way I found to align with the Gods was to set everything to UTC this allowed the Astro to mesh with the charts.
But no need for any of that as dustyboy has indicated.What I do is when I trade is run on chart time because that is all that matters isn't it?
When I sign in I have my location set to my brokers server time GMT +2....-3 whatever. This sets the FF Market sessions times to my chart time all news events Calendar events etc are then linked to CHART TIME. When in Rome do as the Romans do.
The market doesn't care where you live It only has a vague inkling that there is anything outside Itself.
To add to the confusion if anyone cares to research Aussi's trades they will find that even if your download a Demo of IC markets Aussi's trade and price entry/exits which he so generously posts will find that the min bars are early or late I suspect Aussi is on the big hitters Server not for the great unwashed. A minute here or there doesn't really matter if it does matter it's telling more about you than anything else
I think I have learnt more from a newbies questions as it makes me look at what I'm doing with fresh eyes.....there but for the grace of God go I.
Kind regards
