MQL5 - EA - define value which returns amount of seconds Local time

[Sailorx]

Hello Folks,


I would like to ask you some tips for a MQL5 variable (for EA), which must return the amount of seconds elapsed from the beginning of the minute of the specified time.


It is essentially what TimeSeconds() is in mql4... could you please help me to define somethign equivalent in MQL5?


Thank you very much!
