How do I change the time displayed on the trading platform?

October 12, 2026 02:06 Updated

The time displayed on the trading platform cannot be changed by the user, as it reflects the charts and data of the MT5 platform.

Vantage trading server operates on a standard time of GMT+2 and adjusts to GMT+3 during daylight saving time, with all client terminals automatically using these settings.

You can check the live server time in the market watch section of your MT5 trading software. Notably, the server's midnight (00:00) corresponds to the New York market closing time of 5 PM EST, ensuring smooth market operations throughout the trading week.
