Different Time Zones

Hi In10tion

From what I can tell FF are using NY Timezone.

DailyFX us GMT

I live in South Australia & NewZealand generally every 6 weeks alternating

South Australia is 16hrs ahead of NY and New Zealand is 19hrs ahead of NY

When the news is refreshed on the News Reader it shows 00:00hrs - 23:59hrs NY time which is 16:00hrs - 15:59hrs South Australian time and 19:00hrs - 18:59hrs New Zealand time more importantly the meat so to speak of the trading day is generally late evening early morning my timezones

(Only the Digital Clock shows the computers TimeZone The five analog clocks show their true time according to their timezones which is extremely helpful but the news is always in NY Time Zone)

So if analysing trades for a typical NZ day for example it can be confusing when constantly checking trading plans against other time zones.

I also comute between LA, Toronto, UK and Asia up to twice per year and if all I had to do was refresh my timezone on my computer to get the news in that time zone it would be AWESOME

You do get used to it BUT if you are tired and generally I am then cancel out or it can sometimes be costly

Hope this makes sense

Regards

JB
