If you do not want to change the time zone of your system clock, NinjaTrader will only allow you display charts in your local time. This is not a problem, if you make proper use of session templates.
There are a few inconvenients:
-> for some data feeds (for example Interactive Brokers) there will be false daily data, you would need to use Kinetick EOD data
-> if you want to import data files that have been exported in EST you may experience problems
NinjaTrader uses the time of your PC to display the charts. If you are on Pacific Time and your PC is set to Pacific time, the charts will be on Pacific time.
Make sure to use proper session templates for all instruments in order to have correct session breaks.
I use MT4 for analysis (MBT feed) and NT for chart trading (MBT feed) but charts are set differently. And I am located in France.
I changed my Pc clock to match the MT4 chart time and then changed my template session to "Default 24/5" in NT (and then reload all historical data) but I still have my local time charts in NT...
My goal is simply to have the same candles in NT and MT4...
