FXPro and Alpari are currently GMT+1 but in a couple of wks I guess they will change to GMT+2 like most the other NY chart close brokers have already done.

Hi Gil,

I was intrigued by your question. FXCM offers MT4 servers synced to the New York Close (time zone GMT+3), and we also have MT4 servers set to the GMT time zone. I can't remember the last time I heard a trader ask for MT4 charts set to GMT+1. I thought perhaps you might live in the UK, but I notice your forum profile mentions you live in Australia. Was there a particular reason you wanted an MT4 server set to the GMT+1 time zone?

Hello Jason

Yes -- I trade the 4hr bar close, but would like to that every hour.

I trade with Excel Markets - GMT+3 (NY Close)

Have demo:
IamFX - GMT 0
AlpariUK - GMT +2

And --- FXCM which also is GMT 0

Excel is gmt +2 which is NY close not gmt+3.

Alpari is gmt+1 server time currently, they are slack at changing over to daylight savings for a few weeks. Happens every year.

Hi Mitch, since the US switched to Daylight Savings Time on March 9th, MT4 servers had to switch to GMT+3 (from GMT+2) in order to have New York Close charts. That's because GMT is now 4 hours ahead of New York Time instead of 5. When it's 5pm in New York, it's 9pm GMT and midnight on an MT4 server set to GMT+3.

Just to clarify, FXCM offers clients the choice of MT4 servers set to either GMT or GMT+3 (New York Close). However, I'm still curious about why you want charts set to GMT+1. We try to cater to the requests made by traders, so I would like to have a better understanding of why GMT+1 charts are important to you.

Hi mitch77,

Our platform time is set to Eastern European Time (EET, GMT+2). During British Summer Time (BST), however, platform time is Eastern European Summer Time (EEST, GMT+3).

IMO a GMT+1 server would have H4 close at London local time 1100 and 1500 which is significant.

I think the workaround is to have an indicator to offset the time and shows H4 in lower time frame, I tried a popular one but it didn't work with latest MT4 i.e. there are full of color bars in the bottom very annoying.
