i wana get GMT with WebRequest
can some one plz help
There are functions both for Gmt and the LocalGmtOffset , but regardless ,where is it failing ?
yes i know ..but i have (EA nwes filter) and this EA give me the news with GMT time
i wana this EA give me automaticly the news at time current of my mt4
the filter will probably expect a timezone , that is a massive headache to resolve so get the news in gmt and turn to server time on "download"
To turn the gmt times to Time of the server you will need to have an input that receives the offset or try to synchronize when the ea is live.
Meaning when a tick is received (so market is live + broker is alive) you can pull a snapshot of the TimeCurrent and the TimeGMT and find the offset .
Your problem will then be weekends . So , for a given week you must store the time difference discovered live , or , update it everytime a new bar forms .
