Help on coding expert advisor on market sessions

[DroidM]

I would like help in coding the time when my EA on MT4 is turned on and off.

GMT 8:00am - 12:00pm
GMT 3:00pm - 7:00pm
GMT 12:00am - 5:00am

These are the hours i trade.

What code would i have to use to have my bot run at these times using my MT4 server time.
Thank you.

In future please post in the correct section

I will move this topic to the MQL4 and Metatrader 4 section.
