Thanks for answer. I only see a start time for futures. No info about trading hours.

Something like this:


(mo: 07:00-21:00

...

 fri: 07:00-21:00)

Also found no id for SymbolInfoDouble or SymbolInfoString.

So the link is not what i am looking for

See SymbolInfoSessionTrade

Great! Thank you. last question: Are the times according:


TimeLocal

or

TimeTraderServer

or

TimeCurrent

There is no information about in the SymbolInfoSessionTrade help section.

The function returns the same values as can be seen in the symbol specification.
And it's best to use servertime (TimeCurrent())
