How can I set timezone in QuantConnect Notebook

Hi all,

I am getting different date offset for ETF and Oanda CFD daily data.

How can I set timezone in a QN?

Something like:

SetTimeZone(DateTimeZone.Utc)

Does not work.

Thanks for your help

Consider the following Quantbook:

%matplotlib inline
# Imports
from clr import AddReference
AddReference("System")
AddReference("QuantConnect.Common")
AddReference("QuantConnect.Jupyter")
AddReference("QuantConnect.Indicators")
from System import *
from QuantConnect import *
from QuantConnect.Data.Custom import *
from QuantConnect.Data.Market import TradeBar, QuoteBar
from QuantConnect.Jupyter import *
from QuantConnect.Indicators import *
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pandas as pd

# Create an instance
qb = QuantBook()

# Select asset data
assets = ["AU200AUD", "UK100GBP", "SPX500USD"]

au = qb.AddCfd("AU200AUD", Resolution.Daily, Market.Oanda)
uk = qb.AddCfd("UK100GBP", Resolution.Daily, Market.Oanda)
ny = qb.AddCfd("SPX500USD", Resolution.Daily, Market.Oanda)

# Gets historical data from the subscribed assets, the last 360 datapoints with daily resolution
h1 = qb.History(qb.Securities.Keys, 10, Resolution.Daily)

# Plot closing prices from "SPY" 
for s in assets:
    h1.loc[s]["close"].plot()

I am now getting the following:
