Time discrepancy between log(journal) and trade history

New comment
 
Hi,
I have a question regarding the time discrepancies between output on the log and times on the transaction history.
 
2016.02.04 00:02:16.750    Trades    '680467': order #47966509 buy 0.01 / 0.01 AUDCAD at 0.98767 done in 246 ms
2016.02.04 00:02:16.747    Trades    '680467': deal #39021669 buy 0.01 AUDCAD at 0.98767 done (based on order #47966509)
2016.02.04 00:02:16.517    Trades    '680467': market buy 0.01 AUDCAD


The output from my EA(MT5) also corresponds to the above times, yet if I look on my statement....

 
order
2016.02.03 23:02 47966509 buy 0.01 / 0.01 AUDCAD market 0.00 0.00 2016.02.03 23:02 filled
 
 
deal
2016.02.03 23:02 39021669 buy 0.00 AUDCAD 0.98767 47966509
in 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.0

 

Any ideas/help would be appreciated.

Thanx

Gary

 
What are you talking about ? Which discrepancy ?
 

just a guess - are you looking at the broker's Server time for one part of each transaction & your local time for another part of that transaction?

Hi,


the log shows

2016.02.04 00:02:16.747    Trades    '680467': deal #39021669 buy 0.01 AUDCAD at 0.98767 done (based on order #47966509)

and the order history shows

2016.02.03 23:02 47966509

If I want to make Time based decisions, would TimeCurrent() be sufficient?

That is the Server time??

This is local time (your computer). And it comes from the Journal tab, you can't change it.

If you want custom messages, you will have to use an EA and Print() your own messages.

I do have messages coming from my EA that come out on the Experts tab. These correspond to the Journal times.

When do the Daily Statistics, OPEN CLOSE HIGH LOW etc get rolled over to the new day? Is it at GMT Midnight or GMT +2 Midnight?

The Experts tab automatic date is also the local time.

That means, the date/time also.

Hi,

I am currently doing that.

Does TimeCurrent() give the tradeserver time?

Could I use that to determine when the daily stats get rolled over, eg. OPEN CLOSE etc.

Yes and yes.
