Daylight Saving Time ends, how do I adjust MT4 time for my EAs?

Hello Everyone,

I received this email from my Broker:

“Daylight Saving Time ends this Sunday, 25 October in the EU and other regions.

Our server time on your MetaTrader terminal will change to GMT+2 (it is currently GMT+3). Expert Advisor users need to adjust their MetaTrader offset time accordingly.”

As an Expert Advisor (EA) user, can some explain to me how to adjust my MetaTrader offset time accordingly?

Thanks,

Samuel

Hi Samuel,

Good to hear from you again.

Unless you’re trading within specific times – for example only in the New York session, you don’t need to worry about this.

In EA Studio setting, there is an option to select the trading sessions times. You compare this to the time of your broker (you can see it in Market Watch) and your own time zone or that of your PC, and can adjust as required.  But as mentioned, if you’re trading in all the sessions, you don’t need to worry about it.

 

Thanks,

Ilan
