The SPXW symbol appears to be trading in the EST time zone, but its first trade of the day is at 10:31 am. Should this not be 9:31 am? At first, I was thinking it would be in CST due to the exchange location, but 10:30 CST is not when the exchange opens either. Can someone provide clarification on this issue? If you look at the backtest, you can see the first trade is at 10:31. However, for the SPX it should be 9:31.

Hi Mathew Blonc ,
Thank you for the report.
We are aware of the issue. The index option timezone is correct (America/Chicago). However, there is an issue with the data processing that didn't include the first trading hour.
The Data Team will fix the issue as soon as possible.
Best regards,
Alex
