How can I get current EST time by code when my time is set to a different time zone?

 

Thanks

Try this: 

using cAlgo.API;
using System;

namespace cAlgo
{
    [Indicator(IsOverlay = true, TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class TimezoneSample : Indicator
    {
        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            var estTime = GetEasternStandardTime();

            Print(estTime.ToString("o"));
        }

        public override void Calculate(int index)
        {
        }

        private DateTime GetEasternStandardTime()
        {
            var easternTimeZone = TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById("Eastern Standard Time");

            return TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeFromUtc(Server.TimeInUtc, easternTimeZone);
        }
    }
}

And for more info about time zones check the Microsoft Docs for TimeZoneInfo.
