'Morning all,

Having traded primarily US index futures in recent years, I have kept my computers set to Central Time, ie. Chicago time, even though I live in Amsterdam. However, as I am moving most of my trading towards forex, I realise that this presumably sets up the day session incorrectly : the correct forex day session starts at 00.00 GMT, right ?

So, using TradeStation as I do, this means that with my clock time set to GMT, I need to use the "standard" Custom Session of "24 hr" ?

Any comments or confirmation from others, whatever your timezone, would be appreciated.

Thanks,

J.
