Re: AutoGMT Feature (EST+7)

There is no feasible conversion because the Daylight Saving Time switch data is vaguely defined and different from year to year and from country to country.

I'm waiting for the moment some fat (or skinny) politicians will finally decide to remove that stupidity.
It was discussed two years ago, but geopolitics take their full attention.
...
Besides, it was not clear whether to choose the summer time or the winter time smile.
For Bulgaria, in my city, the summer time is better. However, the winter time is better for the western part of the country.
Big problem!

Re: AutoGMT Feature (EST+7)

Exactly, a big problem indeed. However, most MT4/5 brokers auto adjust their server time to always be 00:00 for the Asian session start, so you don´t really need to account for that within the EA, as you can be certain: Asian session = 00:00 server time (and that´s all that counts for the EA).
