MT4 Timezone help

Post by victor739 »

1. If I select adjust timezone to "None", is the gmt/utc timezone (+0)?
2. If I want to mass change the timezone of the downloaded mt4 tick data do I have redownload all of them again or is there a shortcut?

Hi Victor,

1) If adjust timezone is "None", then no modification is made to the native time format. For FX pairs, this is GMT. For other instruments such as DAX, it will be the local time of the exchange.

2) A time-shift requires all data to be rebuilt so you will need to export again.

Thanks.
