The weeks when the clock lies

The United States changes its clocks on the second Sunday of March and the first Sunday of November; Europe on the last Sunday of March and the last Sunday of October. During those offsets, the gap between Paris and New York is only five hours, and the whole day described in the previous lesson moves one hour earlier. An initial balance anchored to the wrong time measures nothing, and a plan written for 3:30 pm arrives too late.

What goes wrong if you forget it

• Session Imbalance measures the initial balance from exchange time (09:30:00). If your platform displays Paris time and you entered a local time, the IB is off by one hour during those weeks.
• The if/then plan written for "3:30 pm" arrives after the open. During those weeks, the whole module 12 routine moves one hour earlier.
• 0DTEs expire at 9 pm, not 10 pm, and the MOC flow comes out at 8:50 pm: the half-size rule applies from 8:30 pm.
