Questions from Beginners MQL5 MT5 MetaTrader 5 - page 131

Sergey5:
but there is only one line and how to write this period in it?

in this line each character represents an hour in a day (0 character - 0 hour, ..., 23 character - 23 hour).

there are a total of 24 characters.

if symbol=0, the hour is not used, if =1, it is used.

Only 8 digits can be entered there.

But I think I found a description.

It's a bit convoluted, of course. Calculating time via engineering calculator...........

Can you advise how to debug an EA at the weekend? Maybe it's possible to set a time period and send quotes (from the history) independently, prescribing it in the code?

Timer event

Silent:
event Timer

void OnTimer()

{

boolEventSetTimer(1);

}

I am writing something wrong...can you write it how it should be?

I've done it in an indicator, have a look at it.

First you start the timer

EventSetTimer(1);

then catch the event

void OnTimer()
  {
// ваш код
    if() {};
  }

PS timer can be millisecond.

EventSetMillisecondTimer

Thanks, I'll look into it.

EventSetTimer(1); is called in OnInit

In OnTimer it already catches the event which is generated with timer frequency.

In OnDeinit the timer is removed by EventKillTimer.

You can use other variants, but it's too early to get to this level :)
