Is there a way to have bots use cTrader's current "user time" programmatically without parameters?

Hi everyone:

Is there a way in bots and indicators to use cTrader's specified timezone that's set at the bottom of the application?

I have code based on specific times that people around the world use.

I don't want to have to keep setting the TimeZone directive in bots. Eg:

[Robot(TimeZone = TimeZones.xxx

and I don't want to have to implement a TimeZone or UTC offset parameter, and was hoping for something easy like:

Time.UserTime

that would return what the user has the chart set to:

Any ideas?

Thank you.

Thank you for the confirmation @PanagiotisChar . That's a bummer, but oh well... at least I didn't overlook something that's stupidly simple :-)

I don't believe you can set the default for the indicator, but you can access the users current offset:

protected override void Initialize()
{
	TimeSpan t = this.Application.UserTimeOffset;
	Print("User time offset = " + t.TotalHours);
	this.Application.UserTimeOffsetChanged += Application_UserTimeOffsetChanged;

}

private void Application_UserTimeOffsetChanged(UserTimeOffsetChangedEventArgs obj)
{
	TimeSpan t = this.Application.UserTimeOffset;
	Print("User time offset changed = " + t.TotalHours);
}

From there, it's easy to just combine the utc time with the offset for user time.

Thank you for this. Appreciate your time! I'll give it a try. :-)
