Can anyone show me how to adjust the time setting in mT4.

My time is show 1 hour behid what it should show, for the uk. Thanks

 

You can't change the time of your broker. It is brokertime your MT4 is running on

But you can put a Clockindicator on your chart showing the time you like to have

This program is waiting for publishing (almost a month)

For those trader who can't stand having the Market Watch or Navigator boxes up on their platform

but like to have a time displayed on chart a Simple Clock Indicator

The Clock indicator is placed 5 times on chart to show how you can use it on chart

It is not possible to place two clocks on your chart having the same time....

Although we have in Code_Base other clock indicators, it was still that in

the Online Library of the MetaEditor I did not find a simple Clock-indicator like this inside

The time in MT4 is your broker server's time. You cant change it.

Use the Russian keyboard in google translate. Thats how I translate the code comments in the russian EA's - Its a pain as I can't find a simple way to copy and paste the cyrilic fonts.

No, no, no ...

If we find strange character in code, for example Russian based character code, then do this :

On MetaEditor : Open the code, then select "Tools" menu > select "Option" > select "Fonts" tab > on "Script" drop down select "Cyrilic" > and click "OK", and viola we'll find the correct character which we can copy and paste to online translator such Google Translator.
