As already said by forex2start, you CAN NOT return a value in OnTick() event handler which is defined with void. Use this :
Anyway, I doubt this condition with strings will give you the expected result.
My timer probably isn't very nice but I use a boolean.
So if the current time is between the two times I want it to run (e.g. 6am and 5pm), then set the boolean to true.
bool time;
int startTime = 6;
int endTime = 17;
void OnTick()
{
datetime tm=TimeCurrent(); //gets current time in datetime data type
string str=TimeToString(tm,TIME_MINUTES); //changing the data type to a string
string current = StringSubstr(str, 0, 2); //selecting the first two characters of the datetime e.g. if it's 5:00:00 then it'll save it as 5, if it's 18 it will save 18.
int currentTimeInt = StringToInteger(current); //changes the string to an integer
if(currentTimeInt>startTime && endTime>currentTimeInt) {
time = true;
}
else {
time = false;
}
if(time == true) {
//do calculations here
}
}
