    Great improvements to the site! Your GMT time is 1 hr behind my GMT time, that I keep one of my comps set at. I keep it set at GMT- London, even though I’m ET.

    Mark,
    Nice work. I can see that everyday Yours and ours community grows.
    I think there is a mistake in Your market hours. London and Tokio should be overlapped by one hour, but they are not. What’s the reason?
