bool TimeFilter(string Sh,string Eh)
  {
   datetime Strat=StrToTime(TimeToStr(TimeCurrent(),TIME_DATE)+" " +Sh);
   datetime End  =StrToTime(TimeToStr(TimeCurrent(),TIME_DATE)+" "+ Eh);

   if(!(Time[0]>=Strat &&Time[0]<=End))
     {
      return(false);
     }
   return(true);

  }

can some one slove it ..  why its dont  work

 

Hi,

i would recommend you to change TimeFilter to this: 
bool TimeFilter(string Sh,string Eh)
  {
   datetime Strat=StrToTime(TimeToStr(TimeCurrent(),TIME_DATE)+" " +Sh);
   datetime End  =StrToTime(TimeToStr(TimeCurrent(),TIME_DATE)+" "+ Eh);

   if((Time[0]>=Strat && Time[0]<=End))
     {
      return(true);
     }
   return(false);

  }

Best regards

thanks my friend but still dont work

 

Hi,

next i would try to output the values (Strat, End, Time) with the Print()-statement - maybe there is something wrong with the converting of the time values.

Hi,

i took the liberty of cleaning up your code a little - now it works fine in my environment.

  1. Werner Klehr: i took the liberty of cleaning up your code a little 
            if ((UseTimeFilter == true) && (WED == true) && (DayOfWeek() == 3))

    You should be able to read your code out loud and have it make sense. You would never write if( (2+2 == 4) == true) would you? if(2+2 == 4) is sufficient. So don't write if(bool == true), just use if(bool) or if(!bool). Code becomes self documenting when you use meaningful variable names, like bool isLongEnabled where as Long_Entry sounds like a trigger price or a ticket number and “if long entry” is an incomplete sentence.

    2. Don't hard code constants.

            if (UseTimeFilter && OkTradeWed && DayOfWeek() == WEDNESDAY)
  2. Your code
    		 
    if ((Time[0] >= Start) && (Time[0] <= End))
{
        return(true);
}

return(false);
    Simplify your code.

    return Time[0] >= Start && Time[0] <= End;

  3. You don't handle the case where end < begin, e.g. start at 5 PM and end at 5 AM. For that you have to abandon comparing datetimes and instead just compare the time.

  4. Do you really want to include the first second of End?
