Convert server time to user local time
- Indicators
- Version: 1.2
TimeZone Clock is a tiny MT4 indicator that answers one question at a glance: what is the broker time converted to my local time?
On the chart it looks like this:
LOCAL 23:58:43 | SERV 15:58:43 | 10-02
SERV is the terminal server time, LOCAL is your own clock, and the trailing MM-DD is the server date. This little tool is useful when you want to describe trades or choose a time period to trade in terms of your local time.

How to use
After adding it to MT4, adjust the parameters in the edit panel. The time zone is under "lock clock"; double-click the value after it to change it. If you know your time zone, enter it directly. If you don't know your time zone, you can try several times until it matches your local time.
