(Not mine GMT+2.) That is why I recommend that someone has to use exporting data from MT. If you do so, the data should match your time zone.</p><p>I&#039;m from Bulgaria and my time zone is GMT+2 (currently GMT+3 summer time). The data I upload on the website are from my broker with Bulgarian time zone.</p><p>You can read more about the Date and Time used in MT: <a href="http://book.mql4.com/functions/datetime">http://book.mql4.com/functions/datetime</a></p><p>There is a MT Custom Indicator that shows the times here: <a href="http://codebase.mql4.com/3233">http://codebase.mql4.com/3233</a></p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>I&#039;ve been programing EA&#039;s for some time in MetaTrader MQL4 but am just getting started with Strategy Builder.&nbsp; It looks like a very useful tool but I have a question about the historical data:</p><p>There is a warning on the SB Data Download page that your local time should math the the data server GMT time of +2 to avoid errors.&nbsp; My question is why does the local time make any difference in backtesting since the broker&#039;s server could be far removed from his actual business address.&nbsp; My broker&#039;s address is on the US east coast but his server is in the GMT + 2 timezone. </p><p>From the SB Data Checks, it looks like my broker&#039;s MetaTrader data has quite a few gaps and errors. I wonder if I wouldn&#039;t be better off with the SB&#039;s data.&nbsp; Any comments will be appreciated.</p><p>Bill</p>]]></content>
