script

The script facilitates creating nearly all standard graphical objects in MetaTrader 5, aiding in rapid visual testing of the ObjectCreate() function along with methods for setting various object properties.

Developers and users might find it particularly useful for situations needing real-time bar transitions in trading environments.
#MQL5 #MT5 #script #Timer

A new function is available to convert server times between broker time zones, specifically for stored times of bars, ticks, or economic calendar events. Identifying DST schedules for source and destination servers, whether US, EU, or none, is facilitated using an online script. The function incorporates standard offset notation, like JavaScript, where positive time zones have positive offsets (GMT+3 as +10800) and negative time zones have negative offsets. This contrasts with MQL5’s TimeGMTOffset(), which inverses this relationship. For a thorough understanding and extended functionality, the complete library is accessible online. It comes with additional features for enhanced time zone management.
