The GMT time will be different in summer compared to winter because the EA will trade around the New York close time (16:00 – 18:00 New York time) (DST: daylight saving time). However, because the EA stores daylight saving timings internally, there is no need to manually modify the trading hours.
The EA should run on a VPS without interruption (also Friday ) to store the historic data.

For backtest it is important to have the correct GMT settings. Ideally, backtests should be done with Tick Data Suite GMT+2 with US DST.
Because this approach trades around swap time, the spread is frequently rather wide. In back testing, you must utilize genuine spread. But keep in mind that at that time, the spreads between brokers are often quite different.
On days when major events occur, such as general elections in the United Kingdom, the United States, or Europe, the EA should be switched off!
