The thing is not easy as you think specially when you use others code.
Ok. I will send you the whole code I used to use and you try to solve the puzzle.
input bool UseTimeFilter = true; input int StartHour = 6; input int EndHour = 18; bool EA_Activated; string cTF = ""; void start(){ ... ... ... if((Hour()>=StartHour && Hour()<EndHour && StartHour<EndHour) || ((Hour()>=StartHour || Hour()<EndHour) && StartHour>EndHour)) {EA_Activated=true; cTF = "Trading Time !";} else {EA_Activated=false; cTF = "Not Trading Time !";} if(!UseTimeFilter) cTF = "Trading Time !"; //From here, do whatever you want to do considering //EA_Activated is True or False. ... ... ... }
I'd allow fractional hours.
#define HR2400 86400 #define SECONDS uint SECONDS time(datetime when=0){ return SECONDS(when == 0 ? TimeCurrent() : when) % HR2400; } datetime date(datetime when=0){ return datetime( (when == 0 ? TimeCurrent() : when) - time(when) ); } bool isValidTime(SECONDS start, SECONDS end, datetime when=0){ SECONDS now = time(when); return start < end ? start <= now && now < end : !isValidTime(end, start, when); } /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// #define HR0800 28800 // 8*3600 #define HR1345 49500 // (13*60+45)*60 if(isValidTime(HR0800, HR1345)) Print("time between 8AM and 1:45PM server time"); if(isValidTime(HR1345, HR0800)) Print("time outside 8AM and 1:45PM server time");

Thanks your elaborate comment that i never thought about.
i'm gonna use this code to solve my problem.
Have a nice day!

As a beginner of mql4 and mql5, this code is little bit hard to understand to me so far.
but i'm sure it will be very useful to me when i totally understand.
i appreciate you comment.
Have a nice day!

Hello,
First of all, i apologize my English skills.
anyway, my question is same with title "how to restrict trading times in a day?"
i used things such like 'TimeDay(TIme[0]) != TimeDay(Time[1]' and 'OrdersHistoryTotal'.
BUT those aren't work very well.
if any ideas about restrict trading times, PLEASE speak to me.
Thanks.
