Key takeaways
- Timezone is set from Settings → Profile and uses standard IANA names (e.g. Europe/Amsterdam, America/New_York).
- It controls display only - timestamps stored in the database don't change.
- Especially important if you trade markets in a different region than you live.
- DST transitions are handled automatically by IANA timezones.
Your timezone controls how trade timestamps, session boundaries, and reporting periods are displayed.
- Open Settings → Profile at /workspace/settings?tab=profile.
- In the Timezone field, pick your region - the list uses standard IANA names (e.g. Europe/Amsterdam, America/New_York).
- Save.
Times stored in the database don't change - only how they're presented to you. Setting this correctly is especially important if you trade markets in a different region than you live (e.g. an EU trader covering US sessions).
Daylight saving transitions are handled automatically by IANA timezones, so you don't need to update twice a year.
