I've answered so many of these posts, same question every time, lol.
***YOU CANNOT CHANGE FROM SERVER TIME TO LOCAL TIME***
Metatrader lacks that feature and we all hate it....

Well, as long as you're helping somebody, wouldn't it be great?
But I guess it doesn't really hurt if we could have a dedicated thread for that and make it a sticky..

Just a thought though..

Below is a screen shot taken after the above post. It shows my solution to the issue of "what time is it"???

http://www.accrete.com/fx_posts/zonetick_mt4.jpg

The software is called zonetick and is one of the best $19.99 i've spent on system sofware. I love the fact that i can have a zillion time zones on my menu bar set to whatever i wish...in my case my mt4 charts, and each of the markets and also my home in Oregon! You will find them at http://www.zonetick.com The different collors are telling me in this case that the Tokyo market is open and that it is just before their lunch.

Cheers,
Thom

If the time on metatrader cant be change, is it right that what everyone is saying is based on the default time settings on the MT4 charts?
thanks

Actually East,

I just recieved an e-mail from Paul {WMH Designer} about 3 hours ago
He has completed switching servers and the new URL is simply

http://www.worldmarkethours.com

He will be adding an icon to the mini display to take you back to the home page.

I just downloaded MT4 and have it running...soooooo, what is the default time that the server is set to? It looks like NY GMT + 1 hour...

Hi Palmer,

I think the default timezone of MT4 depends on your data provider.
So I think you'll have to ask your data provider or figure it out on your own just like you did.

I am currently using MT4 from strategybuilderfx and I forgot what its default timezone is.. hehe.. but I think it's GMT + 1.

Regards,
East
