This might be a really stupid question...but how can I trade the London session? I have a demo account through Oanda but am using MT4 through strategybuilderfx -- and I just noticed that at the current time (5:31 AM CST) Oanda is active (London session) whereas the MT4 platform is stuck at 7:41...do I need to find a different broker for MT?

Thanks,

Bernie

If you have a valid account try opening a new chart and see it it updates. Right-click and select refresh on the new chart. I think the problem could be strategybuilderfx. There seems to be several problems posted about their feed not updating. I'd suggest a different broker if it does not start working right away.

I just have a demo accounts but that shouldn't make a difference...and no, a new chart doesn't do anything...still showing the same time. And yes, I am connected...

Update: I guess it's an issue with the provider...I just experienced a similar thing during the Sydney / Tokyo sessions: I'm in the middle of a demo trade and even though the time (Market watch) is correct at 6:34 GMT, the last candle I have on my chart is from 6:15 (that's on a 5 min chart). Refreshing charts / logging out / restarting doesn't change anything.
I guess I need to find another broker...
