TIME FILTER "input datetime"

joseraposo215 2022.01.08 09:49

Hello!

I've Set The "input datetime" to my £xpert advisor but this parameter seems not to work, because the £xpert advisor is always active (Placing orders) £ven in the deactivated time.

Would you help me?

Thanks in advance.

So you're saying that it's impossible to add Time Filter or "input datetime" to the EA Above?

I would like to know.

Thx!

I said no such thing. You need to learn the language, and impliment what you want, as Ahmet said.(#1)
