Yes, it's possible.

For example:

if((Hour()<7)&&(Hour()>=17)) return;

else

{

// EA working here

}

Place int start() {

if (UseHourTrade){
if((Hour()>=FromHourTrade)&&(Hour()<=ToHourTrade))
Comment("Trading Hours");
else
{
Comment("Non-trading Hours");
return(0);
}
}

}

this works on 24hr clock

extern string PARAMETERS_FILTER = "PARAMETERS FILTER";
extern bool UseHourTrade = false;
extern int FromHourTrade = 8;
extern int ToHourTrade = 18;
