Get Server's GMT Offset from MQL?

[Andriy Moraru]

Is it possible to get server's time GMT offset from MQL somehow? If not, will it be implemented?

Should be able to calculate it from

double ServerGmtOffsetHours=(TimeCurrent()-TimeGMT())/3600;

It won't work as the TimeCurrent() returns the server's time and TimeGMT() returns the local (PC) time.

I don't think it does: what you're referring is TimeLocal().

 "Returns the GMT, which is calculated taking into account the DST switch by the local time on the computer where the client terminal is running."

That's what it does. It returns the local time but converted to GMT. You can try it.

What I asked for is how to get the server's GMT offset (or GMT time).
