Re: [amibroker] mutitime zone database settings

Hello,

Yes I am doing this. I use eSignal data for US and European markets.
eSignal timestamps everything with UTC (universal time).
eSignal plugin then reads your Windows system settings and
converts UTC to your localtime so all your charts appear in the local time
by default.
If you don't like it you can go to  File->Database Settings->Intraday settings
and define time shift between your local time zone and any other you
want to use (for example you may want it to display US ET hours).
This setting is per-database so all charts are synchronized in time
and given timestamp means the same in all symbols.

Now if you want different REGULAR trading hours settings for different
markets to make daily compression working according to your preferences
http://www.amibroker.com/kb/2006/03/19/how-does-the-daily-time-compression-work/

you may set PER-GROUP intraday settings, to do so use Symbol->Categories
window and check "Group uses own intraday settings" box as shown in the help file:
http://www.amibroker.com/guide/w_dbsettings.html

Then you can put symbols belonging to different time zones to different groups
and use groups to define different regular trading hours
