Graham,
What you say is not true for AmiBroker itself.. It is
true only for QUOTE TRACKER (and QT plugin of course)
The idea how AmiBroker handles things is that it is not linked
to any particular time zone.
Basically you can set it up as you prefer. Recommeded setup is
that all times are according
to your local time zone.
When we go to the File->Database Settings->Intraday
settings you will see
the option to set time shift and start/end time of
trading.
These are all relative to your LOCAL time zone.
QuoteTracker is an exception. QuoteTracker is
a designed so its HTTP server (<A
href="">http://www.quotetracker.com/qtserver.htm)
reports all times according to US EST time REGARDLESS of any
settings in QuoteTracker.
See also <A

When using any OTHER data source (like eSignal for example)
you specify time shift just between GMT (because eSignal internally uses
universal time)
and your local time zone and that's
all.
Best regards,Tomasz

Subject: [amibroker] Why time shift
relative to US times?
<SPAN lang=EN-AU
>One of the frustrations I have had
with setting up the RT side of AB is that all the times within it seem to be
relative to the <SPAN lang=EN-AU
>US<SPAN lang=EN-AU
> time zone. Can anyone explain why this is
so.
<SPAN lang=EN-AU
>Would it not be easier to just
have any time shifts between you and the market you trade as being just
between it and you, instead of a 3rd party getting
involved.
<SPAN lang=EN-AU
>Oh, one thing please state what
country you live in when (if I get an answers) answering as if you only trade
the US markets, you would see any time shifts as straight
forward.

TJ.
