enum every 15 minutes

- That makes no sense. Tell us what you are trying to do.
- Checking for the quarter hour is easy.
void OnTick(){ static bool isQuarter = 0; bool wasQuarter = isQuarter; isQuarter = ( TimeCurrent() / 60 ) % 15 != 0; if(isQuarter && ! wasQuarter) // quarter of the hour

The idea was to make it easier to use in the strategy tester. I've seen robots with time systems that work well, but I could not replicate. My knowledge is still small.
I will post the code to help anyone who has the same problem.
Special thanks to Denis Macedo and Lucas M. Costa who gave me the tip to find the best solution.

I am using similar include file with 5 minute interval :
enum ENUM_TIME{ //elapsed minutes TIME_00_00 = 0, // 00:00 TIME_00_05, // 00:05 TIME_00_10, // 00:10 TIME_00_15, // 00:15 TIME_00_20, // 00:20 TIME_00_25, // 00:25 ... };
with this variable declaring
input ENUM_TIME startTime1 = TIME_08_00; // Server Start Time for EA (1)
and this codes for checking time
MqlDateTime today; TimeToStruct(TimeCurrent(), today); int dayMinute = today.hour*60+today.min; bool isWH = (dayMinute>startTime1*5 && dayMinute<endTime1*5) ;
shown code is calculating elapsed minutes of current day; then it is comparing elapsed time with enum value * 5min ... no switch and extra function for time calculation.
These uses of enums for time intervals is a good example of over-engineering. An enum is essentially a named integer, and it doesn't help the code if all you need is an integer to iterate from the input variable using the optimizer. Why not just use a simple int?
input int inp_M15_bar = 0; //start=0, step=1, stop=95
Esses usos de enums para intervalos de tempo são um bom exemplo de engenharia excessiva. Um enum é essencialmente um inteiro nomeado, e não ajuda o código se tudo que você precisa é de um inteiro para iterar a partir da variável de entrada usando o otimizador. Por que não apenas usar um simples int?
Because EA should be for anyone to use and not just the person who programmed it.

Hi!
Can you tell me what is the "stm" variable?
Thanks in advance!

I would like to make a time enum every 15 minutes, I have seen some robots with well-made systems and others made in the wrong way, including using _ to enable enumeration. I would like to do it correctly, tried the form below but the MT5 will not accept. If anyone can help, I appreciate it.
