Deal Platform time zone

[Guest Beale1907]

Hi, I was wondering why all the analysts that I watch on DailyFX(provided by IG) use a different time zone on their charts on the platform TradingView. I also use trading view sometimes but would like to be able have a daily close at the NY close on the Deal platform, ive tried looking for an answer but cant find. Thanks.

Hi ,  IG don't provide Dailyfx as such, Dailyfx are a well respected US company with a long standing history and with a high degree of autonomy. Initially under FXCM until taken over by IG (UK) in 2017 following FXCM's financial difficulties after the SNB initiated black swan event in Jan 2015.

 

Changing close time for different time zones has been an issue raised by international clients, it can be done on the ProRealTime platform but I'm not sure for the others, hopefully a Mod will comment.

I wonder how a mt4 IG account would work?

Hi ,  The MT4 platform would still issue a GMT time scale  because IG (the server) is a UK based broker though I have seen MT4 indicators available that are suppose to convert the time scale for different locations I have not tried them out. You could do a search on the MT home page for more info, https://www.mql5.com/en  and  https://www.mql5.com/en/code/mt4/indicators 

 

I just tried a quick search but need to play around with the key words for a more specific response. There are converters there ...somewhere.

if you are referring to TradingView I have had a google and found the following: https://blog.tradingview.com/en/world-time-zones-are-now-supported-on-tradingview-1147/

 

If you are referring to MT4, PRT or the IG Charting package please let me know so I can better assist. As  stated, MT4 can't be changed because the servers are in the UK and therefore held to the UK time.
