need help modifying a .mq4 file

[[Deleted]]

Hey pre-made I have a expert advisor that automatically takes trades for me but i wanted it to only take trades between a certain time frame. Can someone tell me the line of code to add so i can have the EA start running at Time A and stop at Time B?. Also is there is a code to exclude some days of the week I'd also need help with that.

extern int StartTime = 10;
extern int EndTime   = 22;

extern int DaysNotToTrade = 1; //(0-Sunday,1,2,3,4,5,6)

if (Hour() < StartTime)
return(0);

if (Hour() >= EndTime)
return(0);

if (DayOfWeek() == DaysNotToTrade)
return(0);

Thanks Qjol!

if (Hour() < StartTime) return(0);
if (Hour() >= EndTime)  return(0);

That only allows startTime<EndTime. If you wanted to start at 2200 and end at 0700 (just the Sydney market,) the code won't work. This does:

extern int      TradeHr.UTC.Start           =   7;      // Tokyo open+2
extern int      TradeHr.UTC.End             =  14;      // NY+8
                                #define DAYS_MAX    0x3F    // 1<<6-1=63. (S-F)
extern int      Days.Mask                   =  22;      // Mo/Tu/Th

        int         Hr  = TimeHour(now),
                    DOW = TimeDayOfWeek(now),   /* https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/127483
            // reports DayOfWeek() always returns 5 in the tester. No refresh?*/
                    DayMask = 1 << DOW;
        if (Days.Mask & DayMask == 0){  rsn="|Day="+DOW;                return;}
        int hrBeg   = (Hr-TradeHr.UTC.Start +24)%24,
            hrEnd   = (Hr-TradeHr.UTC.End   +24)%24;
        if (hrBeg > hrEnd){             rsn="|HR"+(hrBeg-24);           return;}

The OP said

No hours were given.

What i meant was i want the EA to be active during the hours of 0200 through 1100.
