You can adjust the GMT Offset to change when it trades. It simply adds time to the internal settings to delay the robots trading.
Do not use any other offset except 2, the user's guide is quite specific!

Normal scalping times are from 9pm GMT each night Monday to Thursday. Trading usually finishes by around 2am each morning although some open trades may last longer.
