there are multiple elements to work with time. One of them is called Time Passed, it shows the difference between 2 times

Thanks for your quick response. Actually, I want to trade in a market session, say NY market hours, but no idea how to do it in Visual strategy builder. I find there are some time components can be used, but it seems all include date and time when comparing.

Use element Time In Range. You can set time without date using Time From string element.

This program looks really interesting. At first this product seemed to be for everyone, but after reading the article and watching the video, it's truly made for programmers due to the fact that the person still needs to know programming logic. Sure you made it easier for someone who starting from scratch to begin to "code" but without understanding programming logic, it will be very frustrating for someone starting from scratch to use it successful. This product is great for programmers because they won't have to program from scratch.

It would be wise to have some sort of manual or video lessons. For example, how do create an EA using your product that would sell resistance or buy support. Resistance and support are very subjective. It could be the high or low of the candle or could be the close of it, or a pivot, or could be based on fractal or zig zag. Without a manual or video lessons, it's going to be trial and error for the user.

I hope you take it as constructive critique. I would love to purchase this product, but I'm afraid I would be disappointed with myself for not knowing programming logic or the fact that it has no manual or video lessons.

 
And how to run the programme after it is downloaded in MT4?

I need to attach it to the chart.

 

Awesome tool - opens a lot of doors.


I was playing around with it, but the generated source code wouldn't compile, and gave the errors below. All errors seem related to the stoploss price value. I was about to try and troubleshoot, but then the programme deleted my scheme as it was only the demo version. Could you help me understand what the errors mean? I've googled, but as I'm not a programmer I don't really understand the results (hence my interest in this tool).
