A surefire way to get the proper UTC time of executions in script?

[tmmr34]

Hi,

Is there a way to get the exact UTC time of the executed trade irrespective of the local time or the exchange timezone or the NT settings timezone?

private void OnExecutionUpdate(object sender, ExecutionEventArgs e){​

    Print(e.Execution.Time.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss")) // this gives the output in the localtimezone - how can I make sure I get UTC irrespectiveof ANY date settings?

}

Any suggestions are highly appreciated!
Thank you!

Hello tmmr34,

Thank you for your post.

You can use DateTime.ToUniversalTime() to convert a DateTime to UTC as in this publicly accessible documentation from Microsoft:

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.
