Stop thinking in terms of EET. You keep ignoring what I have said and what the documentation states, it's "Broker's Server Time", irrespective of what that is, be it given by iTime, CurrentTime, TimeTradeServer, time[], tick time, or what ever function or data, returns the datetime of the server or the bar data or the tick data.

It also does not matter where the Broker is located. It is their choice of what timezone to use for their servers.

Well... umm... I really don't want to be that guy who asks questions without showing his efforts to solve it first, asks only the Y part of an XY problem, and/or doesn't listen to responses.  I've been on the helper/answerer side of those conversations in the past, and yes, it's really annoying.

But in my defense...

  1. I can't find anything in the documentation for iTime() saying it's broker's server time. If I could find that this I probably wouldn't have posted any of this in the first place.
  2. Please rest assured I wasn't ignoring what you said. Hence the part about "I'm pretty sure the answer is '...', based on what you said... just want to double check".

I apologize if it seemed I wasn't listening. I appreciate your help, and you confirming that last point. Thank you.
