How can I change the chart time zone on MT5?

MetaTrader charts use a fixed time zone. Here’s what you can (and can’t) do.

In MetaTrader

MetaTrader does not allow you to change the platform’s default time zone — it’s determined by the broker’s server and cannot be adjusted manually.

If you want to see your local time on the chart, you can install a third-party indicator that overlays local time zones. Keep in mind that these tools are unofficial and should be used at your own discretion.

Always ensure any custom indicator is from a trusted source before installation.
