    Converting Ninja Time to UTC

    I need to translate the current time into UTC and other time zones. For that purpose I need to start with the respective candle's UTC time as a basis:

    Code:
    DateTime timeUtc = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeBySystemTimeZoneId(Time[0], TimeZoneInfo.Local.Id, "GMT Standard Time");
    TimeZoneInfo zone = TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById("Eastern Standard Time");
    DateTime dt = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeFromUtc(timeUtc, zone);
    Print("Eastern ST: " + dt);
    Here I am attempting to produce UTC via the time of the current candle. Then I translate it into Eastern time. As I have the local time set to Eastern I know that the output is wrong.

    I think it's related to how I create the UTC time. How can I properly capture UTC time?

    I figured it out - that first call should have been:

    Code:
    DateTime timeUtc = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeToUtc(Times[1][0]);
    Why is NT support MIA in recent weeks?
