Debug is Very Useful!, But....

I'm learning quantopian, and tryed the debug feature, it is working but:

WHile doing fast backtest with debug , the first stop was at 14:32 ( As displayed on bottom of debug window), instead of 9:31 as I expected, price of asset what is should be at 9:31.

While doing full backtest, it shows that first share was bought at 9:31 , what I expected.

It looks there is 5 hours difference?

The logic is buying unconditionaly 100 shares every minute.

This is true in Quantopian 2 as well.

Hi Marwan,

The debugger reports the time in UTC, which is why there's a 5 hour difference. That being said, it should be able to stop at 9:31 (14:31). Is there any chance the breakpoint only exists on a line that's executed at 9:32?

Thanks Jamie,
That explain the 5 hours difference.
Is there a way to adjust that, in my account setting time zone is set to east time.?
