custom time frames - does this affect your EA?

New comment
 

Hey guys,

I'm considering on adding the custom time zone app with FXCM - see link here: https://www.fxcmapps.com/apps/custom-time-zones/

 

This should make the time of each candlesticks reflect your actual time zone. Would this have an affect on my EA?

 Say for example, if I wanted my EA to trade after the 9th hour candlestick, would that apply to my local time or the host server time?

 

Thanks in advance

Using time functions in mql4 means you are using the broker's server time.

Using your EA on different brokers means different time zones are used.

To solve this problem, you need to add an input entry like "GMT_Difference" or so

to adjust the EA to work on a specific time zone !.
