MT4 backtesting and time zones

[Calste]

Hi everyone,

I am working on a specific time strategy and I am trying to backtest it with MT4. 

I use IC Markets so the broker Time zone is GMT +3. 

For the data I used the HST data (OHLC) from the History Center of MT4 and the tick data (FXT) from a site that took it from IC markets

My question is: as I am testing my strategy on single hours are the results I am getting from the backtest in UTC/GMT0? Or are they in the timezone of the broker?

My feeling is that they are in UTC, but I am not sure at all

It will be testing it on the same timezone as the chart. So if your chart creates a new bar at 2300 hrs then that's the time the backtest would use.
