I'm starting a new project and I have some questions regarding time zone configuration.
- What time zone am I supposed to use? My time zone? My broker time zone?
- Why changing the time zone is important and how it can affect my backtesting results?

Re: Time zone
Hello,
We provide all historical data in GMT+0 time zone.
Most of the brokers work in GMT+3 time zone so if you want to see 5 days a week data (without candles on Saturday and Sunday) then you need to perform testing in the time zone of a broker.
So in this case you will need to create a new project with GMT+3 time zone and use it.

Re: Time zone
My broker use to 5 days a week from 00:00 EET on Monday to 23:59:59 EET on Friday. Although there aren't necessarily any trading sessions, like with stock exchanges, banks in different parts of the world have different trading hours. In the table below, you can see when Forex trading opens and closes at banks around the world.

The long run zones tend will take after the limits of nations What's more their subdivisions as a result it is advantageous to zones On close business or different correspondence on stay with those same chance.
