What timezone does MT5 software display? How much difference from Beijing time?

Updated 3/20/2026

MT5 platform uniformly uses Eastern European Time (Greece Time/Athens Time), with the time difference from Beijing Time (UTC+8) as follows:

  • During daylight saving time (last Sunday of March to last Sunday of October each year): MT5 time = UTC+3, 5 hours behind Beijing Time
  • During standard time (last Sunday of October to last Sunday of March of the following year): MT5 time = UTC+2, 6 hours behind Beijing Time

Using Greece time helps align with New York and London market closing times, ensuring the completeness of K-line charts and technical indicators.
