fxsaber:

I can call in and have a look. If there's anything relevant, go ahead.

Well, call it in and take a look. And it's on the case itself.

Vitaly Muzichenko:

The code is clear, I got used to Saber's style a long time ago, his codes are minimalist and readable.

He wrote this function at my request, for which I thank him.

Then what does this code have to do with this very branch we're writing in now?

TimeTradeServer analogue for MT4

Turn the thought around a bit, please. Started on Saturday. We have TimeCurrent() - Friday 23:59:59. What's next?

Vitaly Muzichenko:

и?

Between server and computer time zones.

Where do we get the server's time zone from? That's basically what this whole thread is about. That's exactly what we need to find out.

Vitaly gave a link to this function. I don't remember what the idea is based on. But I must have checked it when I was writing. Give it a try.

That function doesn't work, it can't work properly, unless it's on some special DC.

It would be good to have playback data.

It works, tested on 3 different ones. Checked in mt5

It may not be what TC needs, but it may take something from it

It works - I mean it buzzes, but a fridge shouldn't buzz, it should freeze. It's not working properly and you don't have to go far to see that.
