Thanks to all who replied. Only Gary's suggestion (at the end) seemed
to work. You all taught me things about TS I didn't know, so thanks.

No, it shows just GMT. Going to File / Desktop Options and changing the
offset to -420 minutes made it say GMT-7, but the scale on the chart
didn't change. Neither for -480 minutes (GMT-8). I even shut down and
re-started TS.

I didn't see that it did anything except change the display in the
lower right corner to GMT-7.

I did this in GlobalServer (Edit Symbol Root / Sessions) and switched
between local, exchange, and GMT, and re-started TS each time, but
nothing happened. My day session still starts at 7:30.

I hadn't known that option was there, but as you can see above, it
didn't have any effect. Do you notice an effect when you change it?

It's one hour off, so maybe it has to do with daylight savings?

I only use one exchange, displaying ES data (that's all I have data
for). The exchange seems to be in Central time, two hours from me.

Now THAT did something. Chicago Mercantile Exchange was set to -360
minutes. I set it to -420 and that changed my chart by an hour in
the wrong direction. Setting it to -300 changed it to the correct
time.
THANKS!
>Also verify that TS's GMT display (lower right corner) is right.
I can use File / Desktop options to put any offset I want in it,
and all that happens is the GMT display changes, but not the chart.
Right now it just says "2:58 (GMT)" which is correct for GMT.
