Solutions to MT4 server time

It seems from combing through the forums there's no simple way around changing the MT4 broker time from GMT+1 to GMT. Unless I'm mistaken this creates a serious problem for any charts of over an hour. For example a 4hr chart would produce candles based on information one hour different from the normal 00.00, 04.00, 08.00 etc. Day candles would be created an hour out as well.

Does anyone know a way around this? For example changing the time duration of the candles created so they fit into my desired time frame?

Thanks in advance!

There is no way to correct for the time on the server unless you can access the server and change it yourself.

If you are using mt4 for just charting why not just find a broker that is at gmt?

Have downloaded3 but all at GMT+1. Do you know of a broker @ GMT? I have searched...

Odl is GMT.

IBFX is GMT

Many thanks for your replies. I did download IBFX but when I put on an indicator I downloaded from one of the forums it says that it isn't GMT...

See attached.

did you do this when the charts were updating or did you do this today?

I did it today... Is this the explanation?

So MT4 doesn't update over the weekend at all?

Many thanks,

Dave

nope, no updates on weekends. Should start back up for you on Sunday evening. Each brokers start time is different, but usually between 4 and 6 pm Eastern Time U.S. on Sunday.

Thanks for your help. Still alittle confused why that indicator shouldshow local and GMT timesas different...

because your local clock continues to tick away while the server time stopped about 5pm Eastern Friday.

Thank you all for help. Now I am trying to find a broker who runs at GMT. Someone above said to me InterBankFX ran at GMT but it doesn't - mine says it's an hour behind GMT. My other MT4 is set up simply through the metaquotes website and runs an hour ahead of GMT.

Any help much appreciated - I'm very close to achieving my aim!

So, let me recommend it one more time since you seem to have missed it:

ODL

Thanks and sorry

ODL isn't GMT on my computer. Am I doing something wrong?

North Finance on GMT?

Thanks but I make this GMT+2. Am I doing something wrong?!

are you sure that the indicator you are using is working right?? Check the current candle time against GMT. At the time of this posting (753 pm eastern time U.S.) on a 1 hr chart the 2300 gmt time candle is about to close and the 0000 is about to open. Current GMT time is 2353. Looks like GMT to me for ODL

At work at the mo so can't check on my system. Is it possible I'm getting confused at we're now into British Summer Time? Although I know that when I downloaded and ran the clock indicator somewhere on this thread above my local time has never equalled GMT. Many thanks for your help.
