FYI

In the most recent patch of your Metatrader 4 terminal, a new "signals" tab has been added to the bottom of the page by Metaquotes (the maker of MT4).

FXOpen AU does not endorse or promote this service in any way, and we do not accept any liability for financial loss that may occur should clients choose to use this service.

FXOpen AU would like to advise clients to take strict precautions when using signal providers as the providers themselves do not take into account your financial markets experience, or your personal financial situation.

Dear Customers

Please, be aware that starting with the market opening on Monday (March 11, 2013) the time in FXOpen Meta Trader 4 for all account types will be set to Daylight Saving Time (GMT +3)

The change in the GMT offset should not generally impact open trades or the process of opening, placing, closing or modifying trades, but we strongly recommend that you adjust the time setting in any indicators or EAs you may be using that have a GMT offset setting so that they can continue to operate correctly.
