MetaTrader 4 platform time change by Alpari UK to EET

Share on Tumblr

Alpari UK will be making changes to the MetaTrader clock settings to give an extra hour to trade week after overwhelming client demand.

The change will take effect at 0:00 EET Monday, 2 April 2012 (21:00 GMT, 22:00 BST Sunday.

From Alpari.co.uk:

This small change will bring Alpari (UK) trading times into line with more markets for more clients.

The greatest effect of this change will be at the weekly opening of the markets. You'll now have an extra hour to place stops and limits or to adjust a position in response to any major market movements in the first hour of trading.

If you’re a trader using an Expert Advisor (EA) which requires the GMT offset to be manually input, please ensure that this is adjusted to GMT+3 to reflect this change before the markets open.

The MetaTrader clock on your platform will be switching from Central European Time (CET, GMT+2) to Eastern European Time (EET, GMT+3).
