Sorry for the delay in replying to you, I have been away on a break for a few days.Hi lumbco and Hammy,
I thought I had this trade time thing worked out last year but now I'm confused again after visiting this site for the first time. From above it looks like you both are trading at different times:
lumbco
14:00 London = 13:00 GMT
15:30 London = 14:30 GMT
Hammy
7:00 NYC = 11:00 GMT
8:30 NYC = 12:30 GMT
13:00 NYC = 17:00 GMT
I'm sorry to be such a dunce but could you please explain?
Thanks
The confusion is due to the difference between NY time, UK time and the broker time.
The UK is currently GMT + 1 and my broker (Alpari UK) is GMT + 3, thus a difference of 2 hours. Therefore, my reported results for 14:00 equate to 07:00 NY time.
To put it another way 07:00 NY + 5 hours time zone difference (US-UK) + 2 hours broker time = 14:00 reported time
Welcome to the time zone nightmare.
