World Clock To Server Clock

World Clock To Server Clock

World Clock To Server Clock is a simple utility Expert Advisor that helps traders convert a selected world time into broker server time.

This is useful when you follow trading sessions, news events, economic releases, TradingView alerts, or strategy rules based on a specific city/timezone, but your MetaTrader 5 broker uses a different server timezone.

Key Features

• Converts world clock time to broker server time
• Uses today’s date for conversion
• Automatically detects broker server timezone from MetaTrader 5
• Supports TradingView-style timezone list
• Timezone dropdown is sorted by UTC offset
• Supports daylight saving time for major supported regions
• Shows nextday / previousday when converted server time crosses date boundary
• Clean dashboard built with MQL5 Standard Library controls
• No complicated setup
• No trading logic
• No orders are opened or modified

How It Works

1. Select a timezone or city from the dropdown.
2. Select the world clock hour and minute.
3. Click Convert.
4. The EA shows the equivalent broker server time.

The result is shown in this format:

HH:mm (UTC + x)

If the converted time falls on a different server date, the result will include:

nextday

or

previousday

Example 1

You want to know what 09:30 New York time is on your broker server.

Select:

• Timezone: New York (UTC-4)
• Hour: 09
• Minute: 30

Click Convert.

Example result:

16:30 (UTC + 3)

This means 09:30 New York time is 16:30 on your broker server.

Example 2

You want to convert 23:00 London time to server time.

Select:

• Timezone: London (UTC+1)
• Hour: 23
• Minute: 00

Click Convert.

Example result:

01:00 (UTC + 3, nextday)

This means the server time is on the next server day.

Example 3

You want to convert 02:00 Tokyo time to server time.

Select:

• Timezone: Tokyo (UTC+9)
• Hour: 02
• Minute: 00

Click Convert.

Example result:

20:00 (UTC + 3, previousday)

This means the server time is on the previous server day.
