Timezones are grouped by region (Africa, America, Asia, Europe, Pacific, etc.) for easy navigation.

What Changes

Your timezone affects how times are displayed for:

  • Trade entry and exit times
  • Trade dates in the journal
  • Balance and activity history
  • Account creation dates
  • Session timestamps
Storage vs Display

All data is stored in UTC. Your timezone only affects how times are displayed to you. If you change timezones, your trade times will appear to shift but the actual recorded time remains the same.

Choose between 12-hour and 24-hour time display.

Setting Time Format

  1. Go to Settings > Preferences
  2. Find the Time Format section

Default Currency

Set your preferred currency for new trading accounts:

  1. Go to Settings > Preferences
  2. Find the Default Currency section
  3. Select your currency (USD, EUR, GBP, etc.)

This currency is pre-selected when creating new trading accounts. You can override it for individual accounts.

Tips

  • Match your broker - Set your timezone to match your trading platform for consistency
  • Consider your market - If you trade US markets, US timezones make session times clearer
  • 24-hour for clarity - Avoids AM/PM confusion, especially around market open/close
