...Which time zone is it ?

It is GMT+9.

Where did you get 15 EST from?

 
pjo:
I will restate my statement again and again.

The Calendar page is not logged in as me.

This is confirmed by "Login" button at the top.

My simple question is why the calendar is showing the FRB event at 12:00 AM ?

What time zone is this ?

If the Calendar is using my time zone setting which is GMT+9 even though I am not logged in to the Calendar, 15:00 EST event should be 04:00 AM in GMT+9.

Thus 12:00AM is not in my timezone (GMT+9) nor EST.

Which time zone is it ?

pjo,

Please ... it is 15 GMT. Not 15 EST.

15 GMT = 10 EST. and = 12 am for GMT+9.

It is GMT+9.

Your computer remembered your last settings in options in the calendar and because of that your last image is in GMT+9.

This image is GMT+9.

This news event was on 15 GMT.

or 10 EST.

or 12 am your timezome (GMT+9).

It is GMT+9 on your image.

My simple question is why the calendar is showing the FRB event at 12:00 AM ? What time zone is this ?

Calendar is showing event at 12 am because it is GMT+9, your timezone and because you setted it may be yesterday in the options of the calendar and your PC remembered it.

12 am if you timezone. It is GMT+9.

Event was at 15 GMT, or 10 EST, or 12 am of your timezone.

If the Calendar is using my time zone setting which is GMT+9 even though I am not logged in to the Calendar, 15:00 EST event should be 04:00 AM in GMT+9.

Not 15 EST.

15 GMT.

or 10 EST.

or 12 am your timezone which is GMT+9 as I understand.

Timezone in your image is in GMT+9 and it is right time in the calendar.

It is the problem wth the date. No with the time.

It is your timezone. If you did the settings in calendar options at least once so your PC will remember the last settings. And if you go to the calendar so you will see it in the setting you did last time. And it does not depend on login. You do not need to login to set timezone in the calendar: it works with you PC.

It is your timezone (GMT+9).

If Calendar is showing GMT+9, then 12:00 AM is WRONG. It must be 05:00 AM.

Simple calculation:

EST 15:00 GMT -5

My local GMT+9

So there is 14 hopurs differnce, next day.

15 + 14 = 29 29-24 = 5 This is next day 5:00 AM.

Your simple calculaion is wrong.

I am replying to your questions. I will reply to any your questions anytime.

Can you reply to one my question?

Where did you get 15 EST from?

It is 15 GMT, or 10 EST.

I corrected your simple calculation:

Simple calculation:

EST 10:00 GMT -5

My local GMT+9

So there is 14 hours differnce, next day.

10 + 14 = 24 24-24 = 0 This is next day 12:00 AM.

It is your corrected simple calculation.

Please reply on my question:

where did you get 15 EST from?

This news was at 10 EST.

Or 12 am your timezone.

 

I do not remember how 15:00 EST came along but this is the cause of the confusion.

If it was 10:00 EST then GMT+9 is 12:00 AM.

But it must be Feb 29, not Feb 28.

Thanks.

Yes it must be 29th.

I sent the request to developers yesterday to look at the date in the calendar.

 

It is because you selected to see medium and high impacted news and with text=true so it is written 2 text messages on the same line:

ISM Manufacturing Index[/CODE]

which is high impacted

and

[CODE]ISM Manufacturing Prices

which is medium impacted.

As to backtesting so I did not understand the question sorry.

You can backtest indicator with no problem.

As to EA so it can not be backtested if it is 5.3 version (some other versions can be backtested because working with text file with different settings changing automatically for every news events).

 

And you can see the recent trades closed on CAD Interest Rate with 5.3 version.

Display News Periods on Charts

Is anyone aware of an indicator that looks up news or events relating to a currency pair and plots the time period on your MT4 charts ... would be very useful especially if it allowed you to gray an area of time before and after as no trade zones and took into account the expected impact of the news (eg. Red for news that will cause extreme volatility).
