{quote} Yes if your broker is GMT+1 then 22 is correct If your broker is GMT+3 then it will be 0 Sydney Open should be the hour of your first hourly bar of the week (see picture) {image} You can confirm as follows: from front page of Forex Factory {image}
You mean UK time is GMT+1, my broker is matched (server time == local time), and Australien opening time begins at 22:00 UK time, so setting 22:00 is correct. But is is not what I see it happening each evening.

Usually with LDQFX in the evening I saw at 22:00 local time UK the market has a break, then it comes to 23:00 local time UK, there is the first candle on screen for the new trading day. So 23:00 should be the time we have to set in the pivot! Not as you say 22:00!!!!

that should be similar for IC Market. Australien server is it GMT+2 (13:51 server time, and local time is just 11:51), and UK is GMT +1, so for the first candle each new trading day I should set not 23:00 but 24:00 .. I will see it this evening what time the first candle appears, and what is the server time (should be 01:00) and local time (should be 23:00)

I am still confused about the time to set for London UK, if broker server time is matched difference =0 or difference = 2.

Sorry but I am somehow thick in this time setting matter

Ok no problem let's look at it from a different angle, just answer this:

Use an H1 FX chart: what is the hour of the first bar of the week on your chart?
What time is your MT4 server time right now (top of Market Watch) ?
What is your local time right now ?

If you prefer just email it to [email protected]

Everything is spot on MD, levels everything is excellent,

I have uninstalled and reinstalled, but the same data still comes up as indicated,

I have just uninstalled and reinstalled again, with the same results, so no values were saved.
