According your tables, MetaQuotes-Demo server almost perfectly fits Open/Close time. The server is GMT+2. The earliest opening time is Sydney/Wellington 10 pm GMT Sunday, which is exactly 00:00 GMT+2 Monday. The closing time used is New York (instead of Chicago) 10 pm GMT Friday, but since Daylight Saving Time is now in effect in US, it's 9 pm GMT Friday, which is exactly 23:00 GMT+2 Friday.

For now, the Forex market opening time is 21:00 GMT Sunday in Sydney, 22:00 GMT Sunday in Wellington, and the closing time is 21:00 GMT Friday in New York. so the opening/closing time for Forex market should be 21:00/21:00 GMT. but it's different in MetaQuotes server.

It's very confusing.

Are you trying to confuse yourself :)? Your table states that Sydney's opening is 22:00 GMT Sunday - that's exactly 00:00 GMT+2 Monday - MetaQuotes current opening time.

It also states that New York close is at 22:00 GMT Friday (without DST) or 21:00 GMT Friday (with DST) - that's exactly 23:00 GMT+2 Friday with DST - MetaQuotes current close time.
