Oanda daily candles different than Metatrader

Not sure where best place to post this is, but I notice on my North Finance Metatrader platform daily candles start at 00:00 GMT, and on Oanda they start at 4:00 GMT. What in the world? Why 4:00 GMT?

Are daily candles subjective, in that different traders across the globe use different starts depending on timezone for their daily candles? I would think everyone would just use GMT as start, or maybe the start of the Sydney session. This seems pretty important, as it affects daily fib levels.

You should ask your Broker about this situation if you want an answer.

On further examination, Metatrader is not set to GMT. The 00:00 hour coincides with the Sydney open. So they are basing their time solely on the cycle of the markets...or something? Asking broker not a bad idea.

As so many quickly discover, there's no uniformity in Forex.

Each broker is different -- even different MetaTrader brokers.

I use IBFX and their candles start at 00:00 GMT.

Oanda's start at 23:00 EST (11:00 pm), which is 04:00 GMT like you said.

Yes, this is one thing I don't like about Oanda... but so much about them is good... it is something I just learn to work around... I trade with Oanda... but I use Alpari MT4 for charts and trade planning... I basically pay no attention to the charts on Oanda...
