How to change server time on mt4

After Googling it I haven’t found how to change the time showed in my MetaTrader4 terminal, when the local time is different from the time of the server of the broker.

Is there a parameter in some of the .ini configuration files that do the thing?

Solution

  • No, there is no such .ini option.

    Server simply dictates the time-labelling of the Fx-Market QUOTE-s.

    In the recent "New"-MQL4.56789 there has appeared another new function that indicates, whether the Server-side has already went on/off a DST-offset or not.

    int  TimeDaylightSavings();

    Return Value

    Returns correction for daylight saving time in seconds, if the switch to summer time has been made. It depends on the time settings of your computer.

    If switch to winter (standard) time has been made, it returns 0.
