Why does my MT5 connection momentarily disrupt every day around 9-10pm GMT?
This occurs because the MT5 platform undergoes a routine daily optimization, followed by a system restart. This process typically happens shortly after 9pm GMT during summer months and around 10pm GMT in winter, although the exact timing can vary and is beyond ATFX control.
It’s important to note that this is a common experience across all MT5 providers, although the specific time for this optimization may differ with each provider.
