Ok, i contacted ICMarkets to ask what's their timezone. They responded "To align the daily chart candles with New York close (5pm ET) IC Markets server time and charts are GMT + 2 or GMT + 3 when daylight savings is in effect."
But on Tickstory there's no GMT + 2 or GMT + 3, instead there's many city's around the world which UTC term, instead GMT, and many city's which the same UTC timezone, if i have to choose UTC +3 it's very frustrating to know wtf i'm doing. I'm very confused, and i have no idea which one i should use. Please, someone help me!

Thanks.

Re: Timezone Confusion!
Thank you!
How do i deactivate the Daylight savings to be always On? Because i want it to be OFF for some of city's of "Adjust timezone" List. And looks like all are stuck in Daylight savings, without option to deactivate it.

Re: Timezone Confusion!
Hi Ytalofelipe,
The timezone information is taken directly from Windows so they cannot be edited. There are only 2 custom time-zones that have been created specifically for traders which are at the top of the list (European trading and New York trading).
If a suitable time-zone doesn't exist in your list, it means that the time-zone is not used by any country/city in the world and would be considered "custom". You might be able to find something suitable by looking at a matching UTC offset and then seeing if there is one selection that doesn't use DST.
Before that, if a suitable time-zone doesn't exist in the list, I would be asking the question about what you are trying to do.
Hope this helps.
