Changing Time in MT4

 

I was wondering if anyone knows how to change the time settings for the time displayed along the bottom of the chart. It should be simple but I can't seem to figure out for some reason. The default setting is standard GMT time and I would like to change the time zone to reflect where I am located. Any help would be great!

Thanks,

Ryan

 

Just about everyone that uses MT4 has the same feeling. It can't be done to the best of my knowledge. It is hard coded into the platform.

time converter

period_converter.mq4 file should be dump to your experts\scripts folder and look for it from the script tree at the MT4, this script comes as standard script with MT4.
