Time zone indicator

[gg80108]

I want to make sure my PC is set to the time zone my strategy times has coded.
I want to check on the hour and not the whole date,or minutes or seconds.. Seems like every minute turnover there is a flash its Timezone is wrong,, probably due to milliseconds.
Any suggests on how just to parse out the hour for checking.


DateTime local = DateTime.Now;
DateTime UTCLocal = DateTime.Now.ToUniversalTime().AddHours(-5);//Converts a bars time stamp to Central time, regardless of local time zone.

if (local != UTCLocal)

DrawTextFixed("tradetimes","Check Time Zone!!"+"\n"+"NOT CST"+ "\n" + UTCLocal.ToString(),TextPosition.BottomRight,Color .Black,new Font("Arial",10),Color.Black,Color.Yellow,5);

Hello gg80108,

If you only want to check the hours you may use the following for an example:

if(local.Hour != UTCLocal.Hour)
{
  //DO something
}

Here is a reference that you may use that goes over how to manipulate DateTime objects.

Also you may view the MSDN about DateTime objects as well.
