Forex Market Hours

[Kevin]

Hi guys,

Is it possiable to know when is the market weekly opening and closing time by MQL5 code?

if you receive ticks, then you can say that the market is opened. There is the possibility to test Wellington open time market (first market to open on Monday) till NYC closing time on Friday; The DST settings need to be formatted or translated to a non DST GMT time.

It's not working as expected. 

printf(TimeToString(SymbolInfoInteger(Symbol(),SYMBOL_START_TIME),TIME_DATE|TIME_MINUTES));
printf(TimeToString(SymbolInfoInteger(Symbol(),SYMBOL_EXPIRATION_TIME),TIME_DATE|TIME_MINUTES));

The testing result is :

2011.02.26 11:23:35 testing (EURUSD,H1) 1970.01.01 00:00
2011.02.26 11:23:35 testing (EURUSD,H1) 1970.01.01 00:00

 

The result should be:

2011.02.28 00:00

2011.03.04 23:00
