Use function: datetime  TimeCurrent( MqlDateTime&  dt_struct) and then dt_struct.hour and dt_struct.min

void OnStart()

   MqlDateTime dt_struct;
   datetime dtSer=TimeCurrent(dt_struct);
   printf("Server time: %d:%d:%d ; Just hours: %d ; Just minutes: %d",dt_struct.hour,dt_struct.min,dt_struct.sec,dt_struct.hour,dt_struct.min);

Welcome,

  • Usually people who can't code don't receive free help on this forum, though it could happen if you are lucky, be patient.
  • If you show your attempts and describe well your problem, you will most probably receive an answer from the community.
  • If you don't want to learn to code, nothing bad, you can either look at the Codebase if something free already exists, or in the Market for paid products (sometimes free also).
  • Finally, you also have the option to hire a programmer in the Freelance section.

Good luck.


 

i have no experience in time functions in mql5

I want to display the minutes and hours of market in my Expret by Comment()

For example, I use this code to display seconds


int Seconds( void )
{
  return((int)TimeCurrent() % 60) ;
}


void OnTick()

{

int sec = Seconds() ;

Comment(sec) ;

}


but I do not know how to display the minute and the hours

I asked you to edit your first post, not to create a new one, but ok not a problem you know it for an other time.

Anyway, Petr already answered you how to get minutes and hours, you just have to use this code and add minutes and hours to your Comment() statement.
