I hate to sound like a commercial here, but I usually charge for writing EAs. If you have a specific system in mind, I probably can develop an EA for you based on that idea, but there will be a fee associated with that.
 
How to open a position at given time:

  extern string OpenTime = "00:00";
  extern int OpenPeriod = 10;
 
  datetime tm0 = StrToTime(TimeToStr(CurTime(), TIME_DATE) + " " + OpenTime);
  datetime tm1 = tm0 + OpenPeriod*60;
 
  if (CurTime() < tm0 || CurTime() > tm1) return;
 
  // Now we are opening a position

That is very good RickD. In addition, I´d place a bar counter given the desired time frame for work, so the EA wouldn´t open countless orders by the time 00:00. Other way would be to place a max ammount of opened orders. The advantage of the later is that you won´t have to wait for a new bar for opening a new order so with bar counting there will be only 1 order to place since 00:00 happens only once because mt4 goes as small a minute chart. Just bear that in mind if you intend to go for a longer period.
