Within cTrader itself I don't think so. You can change the time zone, but since days start/end on midnight, the period separator will still appear whenever midnight happens regardless of the time zone you set:

So your best best would probably be either:

1) look for a custom indicator (or write your own) that draws a period separator at your desired time

2) set your time zone such that when it's midnight in that time zone, it's 5pm NY time.

Hi firemyst,

From my understanding the period separator should be the same, no? When the market closes/open there should be your milestone, not on midnight on my timezone, otherwise it appears as today, 3 period separator for 1 single day but for market reference the period does not corelate with your timezone. Just like in Metatrader, here it will have the same period separator as on your computer however you cannot see the hour from your timezone, which it is what I do now in ctrader too. Anyways….

The period separator marks the change of day in UTC time.
