Question: What is MT4 trading platform time setting? Can I change it?
MT4 trading platform is set to GMT+3(during summer time in US). Trading begins at 00:00 platform time, with daily rollover occurring at the same time each day.
During Winter Time in US, the trading server time is set to GMT+2.
The MT4 server time is adjusted according to the closing time of NY exchange market. As in, when the MT4 time is 00:00, the Exchange Market in NY closes. And that is also when SWAP occurs.
This time cannot be changed on the platform.
