Broker server time vs UTC
Returns the broker server timestamp alongside machine UTC time and the detected UTC offset (broker_time − utc_epoch, rounded to the nearest hour). The bot calls this at startup to auto-detect the broker timezone including DST changes (e.g. RoboForex shows +3 in summer, +2 in winter). Pass ?symbol=BTCUSD to pin which symbol’s tick is used for server time. When the market is closed and no tick is available, server_epoch will be null and a warning field is included.
