Why is my SymbolInfoSessionQuote returning false?

Hi everyone,

I'm quite new to EA programming.
I'm trying to check that all my symbols are open and will be open for at least 10 minutes before I open any positions.

My code is below:

//check if all symbols open now and for the next 10 minutes

datetime start;

datetime finish;

datetime serverTime = TimeTradeServer();

MqlDateTime st; //server time in MqlDateTime format

TimeToStruct(serverTime,st);

bool symbolsOpen = true; //true if all symbols are open now and for the next 10 minutes

//cycle through symbols, checking that they are all open now and for the next 10 minutes

for (int i=0;i<ArraySize(markets);i++)

{

printf (SymbolInfoSessionQuote(markets[i],(ENUM_DAY_OF_WEEK)st.day_of_week,0,start,finish));

//debugging

printf(st.day_of_week);

printf((ENUM_DAY_OF_WEEK)st.day_of_week);

printf(markets[i]);

printf("market opens at "+start);

printf("market closes at "+finish);

printf("server time is "+serverTime);

printf("server time plus 10 minutes is "+ (serverTime + 600));

//check if this symbol is open now and for the next 10 minutes

symbolsOpen = symbolsOpen && (serverTime>start) && (finish>serverTime + 600);

printf(symbolsOpen);

}

SymbolInfoSessionQuote is returning false and I don't know why.

so start and finish are not being updated by SymbolInfoSessionQuote
