Hi which time should I use? Server, Local, GMT
-
Hi
I built an EA in the fxdreema builder.
Currently, where I am in London, Server time = Local time = GMT time.
I ran a test on an EA for 22 September 2015 where I think Local + 1 = GMT, due to the times changing for Daylight Savings.
Hence my close trade is getting triggered an hour too early when I run it through the MT4 Strategy Tester.
Please can you advise how to get around this problem so that the EA will only use the time on the chart?
Thanks

In the Tester all times must be equal:

GMT time is linked with the Local time, because if I change my local time a little bit, the GMT time changes with it. But again, only live, not in the Tester.

Hi
Thanks for your reply, so you are saying that the live EA should work according to the correct time, but on the tester I will have to change the times accordingly, during British Summer Time?

The tester gets information from the history data, I don't know how can you change the time
