time zone inputs:localtimezone
— time zone for which metatrader 4 shows your local time, e.g. 1 or 2 for europe (gmt+1 or gmt+2 for daylight savings time). use zero for no adjustment. the metaquotes demo server uses gmt+2.
desttimezone
— time zone for the session from which to calculate the levels, e.g. 1 or 2 for the european session (without or with daylight savings time). use zero for gmt.
example
:
if your metatrader server is located in the est (eastern standard time, gmt-5) zone and you want to calculate the levels for the london trading session (european time in summer gmt+1), then enter -5 for localtimezone, 1 for desttimezone.
please understand that the localtimezone setting depends on the time on your metatrader charts (for example the demo server from metaquotes is always located in cdt (+2) or cet (+1), no matter what the clock on your wall says.
if in doubt, leave everything to zero.
