DateTime to Time

[algo7134]

Hi

I want to get time portion out of datetime.. please help

ie, 2017.0.15 15:30:00 to just 15:30

The idea is to close trades after 15:30. Please let me know how to achieve this.

Thanks

int i_Hours   = TimeHour(TimeCurrent());
int i_Minutes = TimeMinute(TimeCurrent());
int i_Seconds = TimeSeconds(TimeCurrent());

Hi Denis

But in MQL5, the functions you have mentioned are not avaibalble.

I want to know how to check whether the current time is greater than 15:30, for that first i have to get 15:30 out from date time

Thanks

Use MqlDateTime structure.

I have to take the time from the bar.. 

MqlRates priceInfo[];

datetime barTime = priceInfo[0].time;

it is this barTime, i have to split to get the Hour and Minute.

1. Use reply if you are posting a comment in reply to another post.
2. Use SRC when you are pasting source code.
3. Please spend time reading replies and MQL5 documentation and also provided links.

Here's what you need:

MqlDateTime barTime;
TimeToStruct(priceInfo[0].time, barTime);
int hour = barTime.hour;
int minute = barTime.min;
