      my broker told me that server time is GMT +3 (or +2 DST) and I hope to get the EA (learning before commit paid access) to work on London open (GMT +1). Today i played with server and local time in back test (doesnt matter in backtest) and now if i wish to put the EA on demo on my broker server on GMT +3, what do i set in the EA on time filter block using GMT to match london trading hours? is it 07:00 using GMT? (London is 08:00)

      i am a little confused on real trading (or demo time)

        The GMT time depends on the local clock:
        https://docs.mql4.com/dateandtime/timegmt

        Returns the GMT, which is calculated taking into account the DST switch by the local time on the computer where the client terminal is running.

          thanks for replying. playing with the tools located here https://greenwichmeantime.com/time-zone/gmt-plus-3/ , i can safely confirm that GMT +3 is GMT 00:00 (NY Closing), London starts on 07:00 and NY starts on 12:00 and Tokyo starts on 23:00.

          And The EA start trading time will be on on 07:00 and 12:00... right?
