Thanks Wallace. Those of us in North America that like to keep track of the European equity markets close appreciate it.

Daylight savings is a stupid, outdated idea that costs millions or billions each year in lost productivity and extra software development expense.
Arizona has the right idea.

iceman1: this thread's posted in Trading because the NA DST is an anomaly, not
the standard, and will affect trading volumes if only marginally and initially due
to the difference in traders daily start time
MetaTrader forex brokers will have a 1 hour difference on the daily Close/Open as
well those MT brokers who also offer US CFDs, stocks, futures will see a temporary
difference until NA switches next weekend
in other words the switch affects when some price data feeds come online
most MT brokers advise users via MT of DST changes
UK: "Our clocks will move forward by an hour for good - but only if Scotland agrees"
by Oliver Pickup 29th October 2011
"The clocks will go back this weekend to herald the end of British Summer Time.
But it might be for the last time, as moves are afoot to keep clocks wound forward
by an hour for good from next year.
The final decision rests with Scotland - and those north of the border are against
a move that would give them an extra hour of darkness in the morning.
The Government is poised to back plans for Britain's clocks to go forward by one
hour all year round, with ministers set to support proposals that mean moving in
line with Central European Time, for a trial period of three years."
