Option to change to US DST

Hi we all are trading with brokers who are using UTC+2 timezone but US shift. In SQX is only choice to use UTC+2 with EU shift. We have one week per year not accurate backtests.

I think the new timezone added to the last build is supposed to be UTC+2 with US DST, but named rather obscurely (EST+07) New York Trading hours, US DST, DST: Yes

Not sure why they chose to use EST when all other timezones are in UTC offsets

Was requested as a feature previously

But it uses NY CLOSE at 17:00 at Friday. So this is not good for us.

EST+07 = UTC+2

So it's just the name that needs to be changed correct?
