wish to trade only spicific time of day - page 2

Anyhow, back on topic,

So I should be able to create my own function for trading within a time range by using the date and time functions and using bool of some type ?
This is going to make my eyes blurry. Back to the drawing board again.
I'll post me code of my own invention to get some feedback and/or advise on it once completed.

Thanks all
 
I have some code that sets a bool depending on time of day allowed to trade . . . the tricky bit it to get it right if the start time is greater than the finish time, e.g. allow trading from 10pm to 8am.

Hi with WHRoeder point 3 code.

int secStart = 14400*TradeHr.UTC.Start, // is this where you set the 4hr time

secEnd = 43200*TradeHr.UTC.End, // is this where for 12hr time

please explain .UTC.Start,

.UTC.End,

Also I don't see where is the

if conditional statement to allow trading.

Thanks

 

The comments are there for a specific reason . . .

//extern double   TradeHr.UTC.Start   =   7.3;    // London-1
//extern double   TradeHr.UTC.End     =  12.9;    // NY open

add these externs and this is where you set your start time (TradeHr.UTC.Start) and finish time (TradeHr.UTC.End)

TradeHr.UTC.End is a variable name . . .

There is no conditional statement to allow trading . . . you need to add it, if the code runs to the end then it's OK to trade as it is within the allowed hours . . otherwise the two returns exit the code early. You could build this into a function, change the returns to return(false); and add a return(true); at the very end . . .

Also you are going to have to look through WHRoeder's other code in the same thread to find the function for TimeGMT()
