Hi,
I am running MT4 and FXBook and after a month of demo trading, I am trying to match the results up from one to the other. I want to be able to identify which trade EAs from MT4 are underperforming and I want to reference these with the entry /exit metrics in FX Book, which does not seem to see the MT4 magic numbers. So I have to combine both lists.
I should have 66 trades in both sources and I do (encouraging...) but some of the exact profits/open prices etc are not the same. It will take too long to match these manually and I dont know the best way to match up the two exports except for using Open Date + Time.
Using these timestamps would be simple enough but my FXBook looks like its 2 hours behind my MT4 when displaying the historical trade list.
I have tried changing the timezones in FXBook but this doesnt change the trades displayed in history. Apart from exporting and changing this manually (which I dont want to do) ... so -
Question : is there any way to change the timestamp on the historical trades in FXBook?
Thanks,
Mathew

I think there is no way to change the timestamp. Although you can change the time zone it will not do the trick.
