Auto GMT DST
-
Hello guys,
I'm now done with one of my projects. Yesterday I ran the EA on my live account. Turns out, it did everything one hour too late. All of my time settings are set to GMT. In backtesting I used tick data based on GMT +0 with DST set to US, because my broker uses the United States DST.
My question now is, is it possible that fxDreema doesn't have a DST? As far as I figured out from backtesting today, in winter it's GMT +0 and summer it's GMT +1.
Can anyone confirm that or has a solution to that?
I don't want to run everything on server time, since i might sell it in the near future and I want to be independent from the brokers market watch.Thanks in advance.

Yes, fxDReema simply ignores DST. You will need to adjust your EA manually to fit your broker's time if you do not want to use server time.

Thank you for you Reply!
Thats what I did to solve it:
I made a string variable as benchmark (WINTER), with every timestamp set to winter, then a months filter from March to October, where it checks if the variable is summer, if not it changes every string variable timestamp to one hour earlier, including the benchmark to summer. If its november it checks if the benchmark is winter. If not it forward shifts everything and so on. Maybe not the cleanest approach but its working.

In comment it shows the right summertime.
Is it another calculation than in time filter?
