Help: Fix the "shift" of indicator to specific server time

I would like to check with coders that is there anyway to fix the "shift" of the technical indicator to a specific server time, say server time at 15:00, so that I can get the value of the technical indicator server time at 15:00 ? For example :-

double iATR(symbol, timeframe, period, shift)

Thanks

The way you did is looking 15 bars back ... not at a time 15:00

Try the below:

Inserted Code
int shift=iBarShift(NULL,60,StringToTime("15:00"));
double iATR(NULL,60,5,shift);

Hi FerruFx, thanks, your code is working on the current day's iATR value only but there is a problem : if current server time is 12:00 now (no way can get the future iATR value of server time 15:00), I would like to get the value of yesterday's iATR value of server time 15:00, the iATR value will show the current iATR value of server time 12:00, i.e. I would like to get the latest (yesterday) iATR value of server time 15:00, could you please advise what would be the code ? Thanks

Try this:

Inserted Code
datetime hh = 15; // hour 0..23 to look up
datetime mm = 00; // minute 0..59 to look up
datetime time_to_look_up = iTime(_Symbol, PERIOD_D1, 0) + hh*60*60 + mm*60;
datetime now = iTime(_Symbol, PERIOD_M1, 0);
if(now < time_to_look_up)
    time_to_look_up -= 24*60*60;
int shift = iBarShift(_Symbol, <timeframe>, time_to_look_up); // shift value for indicator
