Timezone GMT +2 w US DST should be available and at the top of the list.

Please confirm this DST should be of type US not Europe type. Many popular brokers use this timezone with US DST and it is known as the forex timezone without weekend bars so should be at the top of the drop down.

as far as I know there is no UTC+2 time in US, I'm not sure what UTC +2 w US DST you are referring to.


Which broker has this timezone?

Should have said GMT +2 with US DST. It's not a real time zone but it is the time zone configuration brokers such as Tickmill use to produce charts with 5 daily bars per week all year round, we need Fridays close time to be precisely when New-York closes all year round. FXDD also uses it and I'm pretty sure FXOpen and even MT5 demo data.

EDIT TITLE changed UTC to GMT

Darwinex is another one that aligns precisely to GMT +2 w US DS ... I'm sure there's more.

As Bentra has already mentioned above IC Markets use GMT+2 with US DST, I would also like to see this as an option in the timezones available for SQX


This is the also the default setting used in Tick Data Suite, see attached

Yes, note that UTC is a time standard, not a zone. (https://www.timeanddate.com/time/aboututc.html)


I use FXOpen in AU, here's their two most recent news posts when servers changed from GMT+3 to GMT+2, then back.

https://www.fxopen.com.au/en/about-us/news/on-november-4th-mt4-server-time-switches-to-gmt-2/

https://www.fxopen.com.au/en/about-us/news/on-march-11th-mt4-switches-to-summer-time/

This appears to be the same dates as for their US clients.


This DST chart might be helpful in working out how this should be handled correctly:

I don't know why us hoomans make life so hard for ourselves...

Here in AU we actually have two states that are in the same time zone, but observe DST at different dates (QLD vs NSW), just ridiculous!  :\
