I live in Dublin, Ireland - 2 weeks ago, New York moved to Daylight savings time - and we do not move until Saturday March 30th. I have adjusted my timezone as shown in this video - however, if I want to go back and look at data, prior to NY changing time, especially Session specific data such as SST indicators - prior to this date, they are all off. So here's a suggestion - just as it is possible to scrub Holiday data, by updating the appropriate Txt file - would it be possible in a future version of IR/T to build in a function where the user specified the dates where there was a time difference between ET/CT and their local time zone, this way session specific profiles and indicators could be aligned correctly in back tests, and indeed in downloaded data. just an idea and thought - not sure if anyone else outside ET has experienced these issues.
