MetaTrader4 Server Times

Here is a list of some MT4 server times.

Does anyone know of a broker that uses GMT+1 during Summer time?

If anyone wants me to add or correct anything feel free to post. I only want to add brokers that we have the server file posted in the MetaTrader4 Server Files thread to my PDF file. On the MT4 Server Files thread I started with the list in Post #39 by Vensik.

Nice list!

You can add GAIN/Forex.com as another GMT-4 server.

Good stuff. Thanks for posting that.

To calculate winter hours is it a simple matter of subtracting one hour? Or do some brokers keep their servers on the same time all year?

IBFX remains on GMT 0 year round, correct?

Thank you. I added Forex.com and ATC Brokers. I'm sure people will appreciate your post in the MT4 Server Files thread adding these two brokers.

Yes for IBFX. I'm not sure about the other brokers. All the other brokers I have used shift 1 hour during the winter but that is only a few of the ones on the list. If I don't loose interest I hope to check them again when summer time ends and make a second list for winter time.

Someone else posted the link below in another similar thread. I found their search engine to be extremely helpful to find brokers with specific GMT offsets.

In addition to broker GMT offset, one minor detail that no one seems to mention or know is what timezone ST/DST changeover does the broker observe. I am one who prefers a GMT+2 feed which makes 00:00 correspond to NewYork EST 5:00PM. That usually gives exactly 5 Daily bars per week which is why I like it. My (former) broker observed the same ST/DST changeover as NewYork, so year round there were always 5 Daily bars per week. (The broker feed opened Sunday at 5PM ET and closed Friday at 5PM ET. It didn't matter whether it was ST or DST. Now had it been a broker that observed U.K. changeover dates, or maybe Australia or Japan or any other non-U.S. timezone, I suspect the feed would have been inconsistent through the year and that would have resulted in some strange partial-day candles, possibly 6-candles-per-week for all or part of the year).


I've been using IKON GM data feed but they just shut down their feed after getting fined by the NFA for using a dealer plugin that manipulated prices. They decided to bail and shut down, at least for retail traders. I kinda figured they were playing games with my fills in the past and I wasn't trading with them anymore but now that the feed is dead I've got to switch to another broker (for data, if not for trading). (FYI, they did send me a check to close out my account, so -- assuming it doesn't bounce -- this is not another REFCO, AFAIK).

I'm looking for another GMT+2 data feed that observes U.S. ST/DST changeover dates. Among others, I'll be checking out FXDD which is one of the bigger names on the search result. (For now I'm only talking about a data feed for charts, and NOT making an endorsement or suggestion to use them for actual trading).
