Thanks in advance. I want to update this 18:34 to Monday_StopTime

I am not sure what you are asking but

 if(DayOfWeek()==1) {Monday_StopTime==var1;}

is wrong. It should be

 if(DayOfWeek()==1) {Monday_StopTime=var1;}
 
  1. Please edit your (original) post and use the CODE button (Alt-S)! (For large amounts of code, attach it.)

  2. And since (usually) trading is Monday (1) to Friday (5) your code can be replaced with StopTime=var1;
  3. Don't hard code numbers (1 … 5) Use proper enumerations MONDAY … FRIDAY

I want to close all open trades on achieving daily profit of $10. For example it achieves daily profit on Monday which DayOfWeek(1) it should stop further trading on the same day. Start trading next day which Tuesday DayOfWeek(2). 

So I want update last order close time to Monday_StopTime which is DayOfWeek(1). It will wait DayofWeek(2) to start trading again.

Updating the closing time is want I am looking for. Thanks in advance

Not tested, but I think this is one possible way:


// Global variables (or static, if you place them in OnTick()
string lastClose = "";
int lastDOW = 0;

// Within your OnTick()
int currDOW = DayOfWeek();

if (lastDOW!=currDOW && lastClose!=
"")
   lastClose = "";

if (lastClose=="")
{
   // Do whatever necessary to open / close trades.
   // Just remember to set lastClose when you close due to a 10% profit.

   ...
}

I found another way. I just updated trade allowed time with ClodeOrderTime(). As and when the daily target achieved I update last closeordertime to trade stop time.
