Since I place my entry and stop loss orders on the breakout of a given bar (on MT4) at first I thought that this could potentially cause a problem. You've been trading using the MT4 and Oanda for some time now. Have you run into any problems? Thanks.

You can change your Oanda platform to any timezone you wish,
therefore equalising this effect.

Go to Tools > User preferences > Locale > Timezone.
