Hi latesh
UK has just changed the clocks forward 1 hour to British summer time, now GMT +1
Probably something to do with that?

Since you are in a country that does not have daylight saving time you will see this time shift of 1 hour twice a year. See http://webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/b.html for the dates when you can expect this to happen in the future.

Most Metra Trader servers are on central europe time so the European Union dates are those which apply.

Thats great information. Thanks., but even the trade timings are changed as per new times ?

If you mean the logged date and times of trades in the 'Trade' part of the 'Terminal' window - yes these are all in the same time zone as the chart times - so they will match the chart and won't be local times.

Hopefully, one day, Metaquotes will release a version of the software which allows the user to set the time zone to his own location instead of being locked into the time zone of the server.
