Do you know the time zone of your broker?
 
0fx0 - if you know the gmt offset of your server (compare TimeLocal() and TimeCurrent() , or just ask your broker)

for any time you inspect, e.g. Time[bar] or TimeCurrent() at a server tick, just add the number of seconds to adjust to your GMT offset.

for example:

extern double xd_GMTDiff = 2.5; //your server is GMT+2.5

start()
{
datetime vdt_GMT = (TimeCurrent() - (3600 * xd_GMTDiff)); //this is GMT time
}

p.s. - don't forget to handle possible DST issues...

enjoy
