How to set correct GMT Offsert in Automated Forex Tools forex robots!

Due to Daylight Saving Time (DST) most of the brokerage companies changed their GMT offsets at the end of March with +1. All forex robots which have some time dependencies must be checked and their GMT settings must be corrected if needed.

Only Dynamic Pro Scalper from our forex robots need to be checked and adapted to the new GMT offsets of the brokers. Only Dynamic Pro Scalper has some time dependencies. Just to remind Dynamic Pro Scalper is an Asian session scalper. It needs from correct time because it trade during the Asian session. In case of wrong GMT settings the robot may show unexpected results.

Here are the settings which you have to check:

Auto_GMT - when its value is TRUE the robot automatically try to find the correct GMT offset of the broker. If you want to use manual GMT offset then set its value to false.

Manual_GMT_Offset - In case that you want to set the GMT offset manually then you need to enter here the winter GMT offset of your broker. The parameter is also important for backtests. If you set incorrect value then the backtest results could be wrong.

Calculate_DST - if your broker switches the server time between winter and summer Daylight Saving Time (DST), set Calculate_DST =true.

Most of the times the automatic GMT detection of the robot works perfectly. In very rare situations its fails. Therefore you have make sure that the GMT offset is correct. After making changes in the GMT settings please restart the MT4 terminal!

IMPORTANT: The robot always shows the winter GMT offset of the broker on the information box!

NOTE: Some brokers use one GMT offset whole year. Therefore if you are not sure about the GMT offset of your broker then ask your broker.
