Hi,
In the doc copy_rates_from - Python Integration - MQL5 Reference - Reference on algorithmic/automated trading language for MetaTrader 5, it says all data received from metatrader is UTC:
When creating the 'datetime' object, Python uses the local time zone, while MetaTrader 5 stores tick and bar open time in UTC time zone (without the shift). Therefore, 'datetime' should be created in UTC time for executing functions that use time. Data received from the MetaTrader 5 terminal has UTC time. However, I have checked the data i received and it is the same as the chart, which is EET. Is there something wrong? I would really like data in utc time because it can save a lot of troubles, but it seems to be not the case.
