zoom Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Hello Traders.. Haver just reading this improved article----- Time zone settings on majority of Forex trading platforms cannot be changed. Some brokers use this factor to their advantage. Instead of picking for their trading severs the most common time zone(s), where the largest Forex markets operate: London (GMT) or New York (EST), brokers choose other time zones, like GMT+2, +3 etc. I can’t explain why they do it. Except, probably, for those brokers who decide that platform time zone should be the same as the location of the company. But I’ve seen unexplainable cases, when broker company is, say, in New York, and they set time zone for their platform (randomly?) at GMT+6… Why would you do that? Probably to make sure no strategy works well under this conditions… So now im searching for an GMT-6 Broker because im in Vienna GMT+1 to trade the real Market.. Can anybody Help ??

Lost Marble Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 Why should it make any difference? It is only a reference point. The trades will be the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
