EA Automatic Turn On / Off

New comment

Hello All,

I'm fairly new to all of this, so I was wondering if there's a way I can add time inputs so that I can leave automatic trading turned on, but the EA will only place trades during certain hours (i.e. between 3 AM and 7 AM).


Not sure if it matters, but I'm using MT4 and MQL4.


Thank you in advance!

Please don't double post. I've removed your other thread.

  1. Only if you can code it that way.
    #define HR0300 (3*3600)
#define HR0700 (7*3600)
SECONDS tod = time( TimeCurrent() );
if(tod < HR0300 || tod >= HR0700) return;
