2010 Daylight Saving Time (Info & Questions)

This is a thread where you can ask or answer questions about daylight saving time. Or simply use it as a reference. I’ll start by sharing some links and DST (daylight saving time) start dates. Then I’ll add a page which is basically a “copy and paste” of something I posted last year. If there’s anything wrong, let me know. If someone asks a question and you know the answer, feel free to answer it. If you have something relevant to share, please do.

DST start dates:

U.S. and Canada – March 14

Most of Europe (including UK and Russia) – March 28

Japan – DST not observed

The US and Canada changed to DST yesterday. How will this change affect you?

For most US and Canadian traders:

1) Tokyo session starts one hour later now, and this will continue until November 7 when your DST ends.
2) Frankfurt and London start one hour later now, but only until March 28 when their DST begins.

For other traders in the Northern Hemisphere, who are not in the US or Canada:

1) New York session starts one hour earlier now.
2) When or if your own DST begins, New York hours will be back to normal (relative to you) but Tokyo will start one hour later.

For Southern Hemisphere traders:

1) New York starts one hour earlier now.
2) London will start one hour earlier beginning March 28.
2) If you’re currently on DST, expect a move to standard time soon. The exact date varies by country.

Can anybody upload an indicator that show the sessions times and
adjusts to the daylight savings? This is a good reference.
By the way I read that Russian plans to cancel the daylight savings.

If your FF calendar time is wrong after switching to DST, the fix is:

User Control Panel / Time & Date Options / DST = DST On
