I dont think is even remotely true; certainly is patently fall for anything involving a financial time. Your claim might be true for logs, but even then, its far more relatable to the person looking at the logs if it is wall clock time. I dont want to have translate every log statement I'm looking at from when the system or process started.
Personally, I deal with trading systems in the US; we record all timestamps in EPT down to microsecond resolution. Currently only deal with US equities, so dont need to worry about DST. I would prefer timestamps were in UTC, but well, legacy systems...

- hermitdev 8y agoThere's still the problem if what if you're looking at a log after a system restarted/crashed. Do you have the previous start time logged somewhere? Personally, while I appreciate your arguments, I'm not sold on them.
