Reliable way to determine Broker Offset

[Taskin Osman]

Hi,

 

i am looking for how i can determine broker offset or timezone in a reliable way. of course i could try TimeCurrent()-TimeLocal() but this method does not work over weekend since TimeCurrent freezes at last tick.  I have checked many solutions here but could not find anything really reliable. Does someone have any solution for that problem please?

i understand that timegmt returns UTC time and i can make TimeCurrent()-timegmt to determine the offset but this wont work on weekend. There is completly new function required to be implemented. i have researched many websites and posts, result is: there is no reliable way known to determin the offset of connected broker. What a pitty for such an important fact, time.
