Your timezone setting controls how all time-based features behave inside Edgeflo. Once configured, it ensures that routines, trading windows, journal timestamps, analytics, and charts align with your local trading day.
Where to Set Your Timezone
Settings → Account → Preferences → Timezone
- Default: UTC
- Takes effect: Immediately after saving and refreshing the app
- Applies to: Pre-Market Routine, Trading Window, Trade Journal, Dashboard, Charts, News Block, and Session Analytics
Why Setting Your Timezone Matters
Edgeflo is a time-aware trading platform. Many features depend on the correct local time to function properly. If your timezone is not set correctly:
- Trading windows may block trades at the wrong time
- Pre-market routines may reset during your trading session
- Journal timestamps may not match your trading day
- Daily guardrails may reset in the middle of your session
- Charts may display UTC instead of your local time
Setting your timezone once ensures every time-based feature aligns with your local trading schedule.
How Timezone Affects Key Edgeflo Features
| Pre-Market Routine | The timezone controls when your routine resets each day. If it is incorrect, the routine may reset during your trading session. |
| Trading Window (Guardrails) | Your allowed trading hours are interpreted using your timezone. If the timezone is incorrect, trades may be blocked during your actual session. |
| News Block | The pre and post window around economic news events is calculated using your local timezone. |
| Trade Journal | All trade entry and exit timestamps are displayed in your local timezone. |
| Dashboard and Analytics | Daily performance, guardrail resets, and session analytics rely on your timezone to determine the trading day. |
| Charts | The time axis and session indicators on charts use your timezone. |
| Post-Trade Emotion Prompts | Emotion tags and notes are timestamped using your timezone before syncing to the journal. |
