General Questions on charts

 

hi all my name is paul. I have been trading a mini account with FXCM for about 6 months and came across mql4. I really like power of the system modeling and backtesting capabilties. My understanding is FXCM is scheduled to have mgl4 soon. I am particularly interested in 4h and 1d trading. I have many questions on the programing and backtesting I don't know where to begin. One problem I would like to resolve is the time on the charts. It doesn't seem to have any rhyme or reason. for instance it is 8:56Am ET and my hourly chart is showing 16:00. This does not even convert to GMT so I am confuse. Can anyone help to make sure I coordiante my time


thanks


paul

 

Chart time is defined by the Dealer price feed you are connected to.

Common times used are GMT, GMT+1 and GMT+2. It chan't be changed without changing the Dealer.
