Hello everyone

Im new to this and i have a question.

Do i have to use GMT off set in my EA to make it work properly.?

Will it do any difference in backtesting?

Thanks //Pontus

If Time-Of-Day is relevant to your system and your brokers server time is offset from your planned hours then you will need to off-set

When backtesting, either do so in 6 month periods (summer time/winter time) changing off-set as appropriate or...

Have the backtesting 'know' by date whether it is on a day of summer or winter time :)

Good Luck

1. Define "properly"
2. If using a broker with a different time zone than GMT makes any difference, then yes.
