//**********************Method 2 of finding the broker_GMT********************************
if u can't find your broker list above, you can follow below method
please compare MT4 time with GMT +0:00 time and date at below website :
GMT: Greenwich Mean Time - World Time / Time in every Time Zone
it show the GMT +0:00 time and date
Do below step to calculate your br oker GMT:
1) open EURGBP 15minutes chart
2) press “alt” and “2” those two keys at the same time to change to candlestick chart
3) zoom in the chart until it cannot be zoom
4) move the chart to the latest bar
5) move your mouse on the latest bar
6) press “Ctrl” “F” those 2 keys at the same time
7) then u can see the time and date of it(the latest bar)
8) compare the latest bar o’clock and GMT +0:00 time’clock
9) if the bar time is 2 hour after GMT +0:00, then your br oker_GMT is 2 ;
If the bar time is 4 hour before GMT +0:00, then your br oker_GMT is -4;
<>
You should be pay attention of whether the date is different, if the date is different, you should add 24 on the later one, for example
example 1:
Your MT4 = 19:57 3,June (earlier)
GMT +0:00 = 01:57 4,June
Then your br oker_GMT should be before GMT +0:00 GMT = - negative
br oker_GMT = - (1+24 -19) (late – earlier)
= -6
<>
example 2:
Your MT4 = 02:57 5,June
GMT +0:00 = 19:57 4,June (earlier)
Then your br oker_GMT should be after GMT +0:00, GMT = + postive
br oker_GMT = + (2+24 - 18) (late – earlier)
= +8
remember the one who add 24 is the later one !
of course you will have some problem when u do calculate at weekend,
due to the latest bar time will not update at weekend.
you can compare a specific bar's time with other broker which already know it's GMT
