How to set correct GMT Offset!

Hi,

I want to ask you why Manual_GMT_Offset for WallStreet ASIA has to be the current GMT offset of the broker and for the other two robots, WallStreet Evo and Recovery Pro for ManualGMT_Offset have to be winter GMT offset?

Andrea Lanza: Hello,
do you know if Alpari.ru changes its GMT offset during summer and winter?
How must I set Calculate_DST?

Thank you
Hello Andrea, Yes Alpari Ru changes its GMT offset during summer and winter. This broker summer GMT offset is +3 and the winter GMT offset is +2. You have to set Calculate_DST=true

You wrote... Auto_GMT - When this parameters value is TRUE then the robot will try to find the correct GMT offset of your broker automatically. But if the time zone of your computer is wrong then this automatic GMT offset detection system will fail. So, all I have to do is make sure that the time zone of my computer is right, and set Auto_GMT=True.
Question... What is the correct time zone to set on my computer? Is it the same time zone as my brokers server location?

Did wallstreet ASIA Evo work on vps even I turn off computer in Taiwan time？

WallStreet 2.0 Evolution Support: Chen: Did wallstreet ASIA Evo work on vps even I turn off computer in Taiwan time？

Hello Chen,

The robot will continue working unless the VPS server is shut down or the mt4 terminal is closed in the VPS. So, it does not matter if your computer is turned off or not since the robot is running on the VPS server.


I use wallstreet Asia simple on vps, but this EA didn't open trades in February days 2017.

I am not sure what is the current GMT offset of my broker, please help me to set GMT. I live in Taiwan.

WallStreet 2.0 Evolution Support: CHEN HAN: I am not sure what is the current GMT offset of my broker, please help me to set GMT. I live in Taiwan.

Hello Chen, The most important is the GMT offset of your broker not your local time. What is the name of your broker? We suggest you to ask your broker support team they will give you this information.

My broker is ICMarkets, so I have to send mail to ICMarkets to make sure my GMT, do I?

What are the GMT offsets for the following brokers: FX Choice, Forex.com and Trader's Way? Could you also tell me if they adjust for DST. Thanks

Would not it be easier to put a list of brokers and tell us what adjustments to make?
My broker is Forex.com, What adjustments should I make, thank you.

Hello Bennett, We are not sure about the GMT offset of FX Choice and Trader's Way. You must ask your broker. But for Forex.com you can check the above comment which is addressed to Tomas Vazquez. His broker is also Forex.com. You can use the same settings.

Hi Umit,

When you do backtests you have to set AutoGMT_Offset=false always otherwise the robot will not be able to define GMT offset correctly(that's because it tests past data). You also have to set DST_Usage to true and set your broker's GMT winter time(ManualGMT_Offset=broker gmt winter time).

The robot will not have good results because you have not set correctly the settings.

Please tell me I use thinkMarkets and which to set?

WallStreet Evo 1.2:

AutoGMT_Offset =
ManualGMT_Offset =
DST_Usage =

Rinda Rustiani: Umit Durusu: Hi,

I use FiBO broker for WS Evo.
I use TickDataSuite2 for testing with real tick data. I set TickDataSuite at GMT+2 and DST at 'Europe'. So, this should change the real tick data to the same as FiBO servers. Could you verify this for me that I have done it correct?

Also, in the EA, I see I get different results when using Auto_GMT = True or False. I insert ManualGMT offset at 2 and DST adjustment also True. In that case I get very good results. But when AutoGMT is True the results become bad.
Could you verify for me what is the best to choose?

Hii... I want to ask you friend.. may i ask for your email address..??

FIBO Broker scammed me. So you guys know.

CHRISTIAN GIMBEL: Hello,

for the ActiveTrade broker which settings can I consider?
Yours sincerely
Chris

In case that the auto gmt cannot detect correctly the gmt offset of ActiveTrades you can use the following settings:

WallStreet ASIA Evo:
Auto_GMT = false
Manual_GMT_Offset = 1
Calculate_DST = true

WallStreet 2.0 Evolution:
AutoGMT_Offset = false
ManualGMT_Offset = 1
DST_Usage = true

Shams Ullah: Hello Sir,

My broker is forextime. And it's server time is GMT+3. For Back testing I have downloaded tick data using tick data suite. In tick data setting I have set GMT offset to +3 and DST=Europe. So that the tick history is similar to broker time. I have also set autoGMT to false. And have set Manual GMT offset to +3 in EA settings.

In my live account I see GMT =3 in the information box by default. It means it shows the crrect value. So I have no issue with live account. Everything on default settings.

But are these settings correct for back Testing ?

Hello Shams Ullah, It is a little bit complicated with the gmt settings. But you should not worry we will help you. Since it will take time and we need to communicate several times before to solve the problem we will send you a message. Lets continue to communicate with email messages.

Vinayak: Hi , I am using hotforex as broker. Sorry got confused with the GMT offset settings. I was under impression that it should be my local GMT offset settings. I am in muscat which is GMT+4 . so do I have to set it with hotforex broker's GMT settings and what it would be.
please guide me. I have tried to use back testing with EURJPY and EURUSD but it is showing negative results. doest back testing takes current robot setting as I have done fixed lot setting 0.1 but in back testing can see some trades of 0.6.

Hello Vinayak,
In the gmt settings you have to set the gmt offset of your broker not of your local time. Here is what we suggest you. First ask your broker to confirm you his trading servers winter and summer gmt offsets. Then contact our support team or write here and we will give you detailed instructions.
In order to make proper backtests please first update your MT4 terminal history data. After that restart the MT4 terminal and test again.

Anthony Caldwell: Good Afternoon,

I have asked my broker who is Pepperstone,
they have told me that it is +3 but wouldn't tell me if there is winter or summer.
Also I am using an MQL5 VPS with the platform closed, as I have had no trades does the platform need to be open to work?


Your broker have to know if they change winter/summer time, they have to know what happens with their servers. You won't be able to use WallStreet Forex Robot 2.0 Evolution on MQL5 VPS server because they do not allow DLL imports on their servers, you have to find a VPS which allows DLL imports. For more info please contact directly support team.

If your gmt is not calculated correctly then you have to set it manually, AutoGMT=false and ManualGMT_Offset=2(your winter gmt), don't forget to set Calculate_DST=true(if your broker change time on summer/witer)

anthony fu: Hello.. I live in Jakarta, Indonesia .. my broker is IC Market .. do I have to set the GMT manually or leave it by default (automatic) ?

As you can read in the article, if the EA has detected your broker GMT offset correctly then you don't need to set GMT manually, so first of all you have to be sure what is your broker GMT offset by contacting them and then you can set it manually if it is necessary.

Please do not hesitate to contact support team if you have other questions.

Guillermo Castillo: Greetings, I have purchased the WALLSTREET ASIA, I use the FBS broker, and I contacted them to ask about the winter and summer hours in order to configure the robot... and this was their response:

The MetaTrader time setting is fixed (GMT offset on MT4/5 from GMT+2 and GMT+3 in the summertime), and it is the same for all brokers using the platform.

Based on this information, how can I configure the robot?
thank you

Please check in the information box if the GMT is detected properly, if not then you have to set up manually as such

Auto_GMT = false
Manual_GMT_Offset = 2
Calculate_DST = true

Explanation for each parameter you can read above in the article. Also, if you have other questions or need support you can contact our team as well.
