Thread: GMT OFFSET

HELLO
WHAT IS FXCM'S GMT OFFSET

Hi anandprasad,

Welcome to the forum and thank you for your post!


What is the GMT offset for FXCM's Trading Station II Platform?

FXCM's Trading Station II platform by default is set to New York time (Eastern Daylight Time). Currently GMT offset of -4. When daylight savings ends in the United States, the GMT offset will then be GMT -5.


How do I change the platform display time to my local time?

Step 1: Click on “System” in the upper right corner and select “Options.”

Step 2: Next, click on “General Trading” to access the section of the Options menu that contains the time zone information.

Step 3: On the right side of the options, click on “View format of time field” and select the time zone that will work the best for you.

UTC – Coordinated Universal Time format. UTC is the time zone that you should select to st your Trading Station platform to GMT time.
Server – Server time is the default selection and is set to East Standard Time (EST).
Local – Local time will set the platform to whatever the time is on your own computer.
Financial Time – Financial time will set the time to where 00:00 represents the beginning of the trading day.

Step 4: To save the changes click on “Apply” in the lower right corner of the options menu and then click on “OK.”

Have a great day!
