How to fix trades entering not off local time?

[Pocro]

I used the variable "time filter" and put it to local time 3 AM ( EST for me), to execute a trade. But on my mt5 backtest, it enters trades at 3 AM MT5 Time, which looks to be 9am.

First of all I've read that you cant change the time zone inside of mt5 so that's stupid. If that is possible someone please let me know (mt5 overall seems so old and clunky)

Secondly, if I can't change mt5 time, I figured I would either change the time inside of fxdreema project, but I saw the local time option, so I thought I'd tried that.

Is it supposed to work? I have it set to Local Time 3 am but still enters trades on server time 3am.

Any help greatly appreciated.

AFAIK when you are backtesting, you must use the time value of the available data on your platform. To my knowledge, in order to change that you would need external softwar to do the changes. I maybe wrong, of course. What you can do, however, is buying a service of high quality data to download and then change the time there, but again, tha is an external service.

Backtest uses server time, this is the time on upper left above market watch. add or subtract the hours different to your computer time and use this value in your blocks.
