Topic: Change data Time Zone

The option in History Center under Download:" Change data files time zone" .

- The default is ok for testing but not good for exporting the EA?
- Do I have to adjust this time ZOne to the Dealer server data -- time zone?

Txs.

Re: Change data Time Zone

It is better to have same timezone across your broker and your testing data set.

Re: Change data Time Zone

Ok.

If using brokers with different time zones, then is better to have 2  EA One for each broker?

Also when applying the FSB Auto trader , the time zone at that level will be irrelevant? Specially if using  brokers with different time zones?

Re: Change data Time Zone

Do you use indicators, which use time?

Re: Change data Time Zone

Let me put it this way - if your broker TZ is GMT+3, then it is advisable to use same TZ data. It is especially true if some indicators use time, because it simplifies things and reduces possible errors one would make!

Even better is to use your broker's data because then you don't have to think about matching timezones.
