GOLDUXE - DST NOTICE

Hi,

Today marks the start of trading in DST time, as USA moves clocks forward yesterday, where most brokers shift their server clock forward by 1 hour to stay aligned to the US market open. 

Unfortunately, not all brokers follow the same methods when it comes to DST changes.

​

Broadly speaking, most main ASIC based brokers and those who use the GMT+2 format generally switch to GMT+3 at the start of the US DST (not the european one). This list would include main players - IC, Pepperstone, Axi, Tickmill, Vantagefx and so on. They tend to follow suit with each other.

In this case users have nothing to do to the times in the Golduxe, because golduxe works by placing orders at the start of the US pre-market open (8.35 Eastern) and at the main market open (9.30 am US Eastern). So, when the USA moved the clock forward and broker moved forward +1 these times remained synched, so no alteration is required.

​

So, thats case 1 taken care of, the broker who moves in line with DST and moves forward by 1 hour is the happy solution.

​

So, lets take a broker who was GMT+2 and did'nt move the server clock forward, so before the DST come into effect they were 7 hours ahead of New york. (GMT+2 = EST+7)

Now, they are only 6 hours ahead of New York, so the times on the EA need to be pulled back by 1 hour. ***BUT IF THE BROKER DECIDES TO MOVE THE SERVER FORWARD IN LINE WITH EUROPEAN SAVINGS TIME, THE CLIENT MOST REVERT BACK TO OLD SETTINGS.

​

In this case the times should be changed as such:

Next up is the broker who like to break all mould and use GMT+0 as the main server time setting. Exness is the one who springs to mind.

So, these broker typically are unconforming and don't change the server, which means the times must also be rolled back one hour, as before they were 5 hours ahead of New York, now they are only 4 hours ahead of new York. 

So, there new settings would be as such.

Its quite easy to check also, use a calender from forexfactory and the EA should be placing trades from chart 1 at 8.35am Eastern US time and 930 am on chart 2 Eastern US time.
