Hi,

I've searched the forum but I didn't found a clear answer (or didn't understood it :geek: ).

Just one question... My strategy uses fixed times to trade the London session.

If I backtest the strategy on a few years with the tester, must I change automaticaly my GMT trading
times according to DST ?

This means, for London time, using GMT for winter and GMT+1 for summer time.


I'm a bit confused because I don't know if historical candle times are matched to
actual JForex time on the top right or have their own time no matter what's the current time.

Thanks a lot.

Jforex platform is always run on the GMT. Any corrections for different time-savings and so on needs to be implemented from your side.
