convert to unix time and use it to calculate the time shift.
1 Hour = 60 x 60 seconds
good luck.

I think you should go for minutes shift instead of hour shift. This is safer.

Hello all,
I trying to build indicator relax with sessions open and close. Input time setting is UTC, so i need to convert each time[i] (broker time) to UTC time. My ideal is
this will calculate shift hour from broker time to UTC and this value is static, in loop of indicator need ajust this hourshift.
BUT i found strange: hourshift some time =2, some time=3. I ask my broker (perperstone) and their timezone is GMT+3 so i thing my hourshift value always 3.
Can you please clean for me? Or help me better way to calculate hourshift beetween broker time and UTC time?
Thank you!
