Time zones and trading days

Times are stored exactly and shown in your browser's time zone. A trade belongs to the day it closed.

Futures sessions start the evening before (CME rolls at 18:00 New York time), which is how prop firms count days. Where the journal offers a session or calendar day setting, it decides whether a Sunday evening trade counts for Sunday or Monday.

When importing a CSV, pick the zone the platform wrote its times in. Daylight saving changes are handled per row, so a file that spans a clock change still lines up.

The weekly digest goes out Sunday evening in the time zone your browser had when you turned it on.
