Hi mill

I accept your point about needing to be able to do mental arithmetic, but I think there is a more important reason to be able to use a different time zone from the server time (or at least account for it in indicators).

I use daily pivot points and these only work because many others use them as well. If I use a different start time for the day, the pivot points are different from those used by most traders and are therefore not as effective. The many other traders I refer to are the masses of traders that use UK time and smaller masses using New York time. (I want to use UK time for the pivot points.)

Of course, I can program my pivot point indicator to make the calculations based on a shifted time, but it's a pity to make many users do this, when all it requires is a set of functions to provide a "shifted" time base.

I live in New Zealand and have just chosen a US broker after trying a demo with a UK broker and was unexpectedly presented with this issue. Anyway, I'll add the complexity to my indicator knowing that I'll only have to do it once. If I think my code is OK and useful to others, I'll publish it somewhere.

Cheers
