What is current GMT time ?

Check your computer settings.

Current GMT Time.

By computer settings do you mean by time zone settings, currently it is (UTC +05:00) Islamabad, Karachi.

As you are discussing a similar topic here I have deleted your other topic "I am developing EA, I want to retrieve broker time and time zone in EA. Please help me how to get it done..."

Please do not start new topics unnecessarily.

#property strict

#define HOUR 3600
#define DAY (24 * HOUR)
#define WEEK 7

datetime GetBarTime( const datetime time, const bool NextBar = false, string Symb = NULL, const ENUM_TIMEFRAMES TimeFrame = PERIOD_M1 )
{
  if (Symb == NULL)
    Symb = _Symbol;
    
  return(iTime(Symb, TimeFrame, iBarShift(Symb, TimeFrame, time) - (NextBar ? 1 : 0)));
}

datetime GetTimeDayOfWeek( const int Shift = 0, const ENUM_DAY_OF_WEEK Day = SUNDAY )
{
  const datetime Res = TimeCurrent() / DAY * DAY;
  
  return(Res - (((WEEK + (TimeDayOfWeek(Res) - Day)) % WEEK) + Shift * WEEK) * DAY);
}

// Аналог по серверному времени - https://www.mql5.com/ru/docs/dateandtime/timegmtoffset
// Работает для FOREX-символов, когда M1-история доступна за ближайшую неделю
int TimeServerGMTOffset( void )
{
  const datetime Sunday = GetTimeDayOfWeek();
  
  return(((int)MathRound((double)MathMin(Sunday - DAY - GetBarTime(Sunday), Sunday + DAY - GetBarTime(Sunday, true)) / HOUR) - 3) * HOUR);
}

// Аналог по серверному времени - https://www.mql5.com/ru/docs/dateandtime/timegmt
// Работает для FOREX-символов, когда M1-история доступна за ближайшую неделю
datetime TimeServerGMT( void )
{
  return(TimeCurrent() + TimeServerGMTOffset());
}

Применение

#define PRINT(A) Print(#A + " = " + (string)(A))

void OnStart()
{  
  PRINT(TimeGMT());
  PRINT(TimeServerGMT());  
}

Подход хорош тем, что работает не только на выходных, в Тестере и реал-тайме, но и на сторонних данных. Т.е. определяется GMT котировок, взятых не из MT.
