# How do I change the time zone or use a 12-hour clock?

Right-click the time axis, the row of dates and times along the bottom of the chart:

- **Time zone** sets the zone the chart shows its times in.
- **12-hour clock** switches the time labels between the 12-hour and the 24-hour format.

The same menu holds **Session breaks**, and **Extended hours shading** on markets with a regular session.
