| How To Change Military Time On Webull |
Step 1: Identify Your Webull Platform
First things first, let's figure out which version of Webull you're using. Are you primarily trading on:
-
The Webull Desktop Application? (Downloaded software for Windows or Mac)
-
The Webull Mobile App? (On your smartphone or tablet)
-
The Webull Web Platform? (Accessed through a web browser like Chrome, Firefox, or Safari)
Knowing this will help you navigate directly to the relevant settings. The process can differ significantly between these platforms, so take a moment to confirm!
Step 2: Accessing the Settings Menu
Once you've identified your platform, the next step is to locate the "Settings" or "More" section.
For the Webull Desktop Application:
Tip: Be mindful — one idea at a time.
-
Look for the "Settings" Icon: Typically, you'll find a gear icon (⚙️) or a similar symbol, usually in the top right or bottom left corner of the application window.
-
Alternatively, check the "Menu" Bar: On some desktop versions, you might find "Settings" under a "File," "View," or "Account" menu in the top bar of the application. Click on this to reveal a dropdown.
For the Webull Mobile App (iOS & Android):
-
Tap on "Menu" or "Account": In the mobile app, you'll generally see a "Menu" or "Account" tab at the bottom right corner of your screen. Tap on this to open your personal profile and settings.
-
Look for "Settings" within the Profile: Once in the "Menu" or "Account" section, scroll down. You'll usually find a "Settings" option.
For the Webull Web Platform:
-
Locate your Profile Icon or "More" Options: On the web platform, your profile picture or a "More" option (often represented by three dots or lines) will typically be in the top right corner of the screen. Click on it.
-
Find "Settings" in the Dropdown: A dropdown menu should appear. Look for "Settings" or "Account Settings" within this list.
Step 3: Navigating to Display or General Settings
Now that you're in the general settings area, we need to find the specific option related to time format. This is often grouped under "Display," "General," or "Preferences."
Common Paths to Time Settings:
-
"Display" or "General": Many applications categorize time format under a "Display" or "General" heading. This is where visual elements of the platform are customized.
-
"Account Settings" or "Personalization": Sometimes, these settings are nested within broader "Account Settings" or "Personalization" sections.
-
"Preferences": Some platforms use the term "Preferences" to group user-specific customizations, including time format.
Take your time to browse through the available options within the settings menu. The exact labeling can be a bit elusive.
Step 4: Locating the "Time Format" or "24-Hour Clock" Option
This is the crucial step! Within the "Display," "General," or "Preferences" section, you're looking for an option that explicitly mentions "Time Format," "Clock Format," "24-Hour Clock," or "Military Time."
QuickTip: Revisit posts more than once.
-
Look for a Toggle Switch: Often, this setting will be a simple toggle switch. If it's currently showing military time, the switch will likely be enabled for "24-hour clock" or disabled for "12-hour clock."
-
Select from Options: In some cases, it might be a dropdown menu where you can explicitly select between "12-hour (AM/PM)" and "24-hour."
Action: Toggle the switch or select the option that corresponds to the 12-hour (standard) time format. This will usually be labeled as "12-hour clock" or you'll disable the "24-hour clock" option.
Step 5: Saving Your Changes (If Necessary)
After making the change, some applications require you to explicitly save your settings.
-
Look for a "Save," "Apply," or "Done" button: If you see one, click it!
-
Automatic Saving: Many modern applications save changes automatically as soon as you make them. If there's no explicit save button, don't worry, your changes have likely been applied.
Step 6: Verify the Change
The final and most important step is to verify that the time format has indeed changed.
-
Go back to your main trading interface: Observe the timestamps on charts, order history, news feeds, and any other time-sensitive data.
-
Confirm AM/PM: You should now see times displayed in the standard 12-hour format with AM and PM indicators (e.g., 9:30 AM, 3:45 PM) instead of military time (e.g., 09:30, 15:45).
Congratulations! You've successfully changed the time format on your Webull platform. This small customization can significantly improve your trading experience by making time-related information more intuitive and easier to process at a glance.
