Server and Time Zone

New comment
 

Hi I have three questions:

1) The server I use for MetaTrader is the Alpari US Demo, is this live data?

2) Can I connect it to TWS instead of ALpari?

3) The time zone is using UK time or something weird... anyway I can change it to my specific time zone?


Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance

1. Maybe, maybe not (brokers differ in how close their Demo data stream is to their Live data stream).

2. If by TWS you mean IB's platform then there are solutions to connect the two (although I never used any of them). I recommend you search the forum.

3. No you can't. You can switch to a broker in your time-zone.
