Real Time on Charts - US time not Australia

[FishMilan]

Hi,

My account is registered in Australia. However I want to see the US market time on my charts? Is there a specific setting change?

Hi,

 

I don't have access to ProReal Time.

However it doesn't make sense that if the you or I am trading US stocks then we need to know the US time on the charts. I think it would be an easy improvement to your out of box charts.

Hi @FishMilan,

If you are referring to the time zone of your account and the time displayed on the chart:


You won't be able to change the time zone unless you open an account with another office that AUS.

I will forward your feedback to the development team to add a feature to change the time zone, with US time for US stock, UK time for UK stocks for example.

All the best - Arvin

Hi @FishMilan

Thanks for reaching out.

The time of the IG platform is linked to your account itself and is not changeable unfortunately.

I will pass this feedback to our development team to review adding time zone configuration to our IG web platform. The other alternative is using ProRealTime, the advanced charting package we offer, already has great time zone and trading hours settings. Hence we usually recommend clients looking for these features to try PRT.

See below blog on custom trading hours on ProRealTime:

Hope this helps.
