Timezone question on IG platform

[dnbattley]

Is there a method of manually changing the dealing platform timezone? I live in Queensland Australia, however for reasons that are unclear to me, but presumably related to my broadband provider, the dealing platform adopts a New South Wales timezone (which is the same for part of the year, but wrong at others since NSW adopts a summer time whereas Queensland does not). In addition to this, the majority of my trading is in other timezones (UK, in particular), which introduces further timezone discrepancies, particularly as many timezone changes are not aligned across the year, and this introduces some challenges around timing trades and trends to specific market announcements/events.

Is there a way to manually set the dealing platform timezone to a specific/arbitrary timezone? If not, is there scope for this to be an added feature?

Dear @dnbattley,

Thank you for your post.

Unfortunately, you cannot change the timezone as this will automatically adopt the timezone. We have passed this to the product team to consider as an added feature for the platform.

Thanks,

Thank you for your quick answer and for passing it to the product team for consideration. I hope that it will result in this feature making an appearance in the future.
