If this is in the Strategy Tester, then its probably referring to Trade Sessions as referenced in the Contract Specifications:

You can use the following function to find out the session times:

SymbolInfoSessionTrade

Allows receiving time of beginning and end of the specified trading sessions for a specified symbol and day of week.

No! MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester simulates the sessions so you have to check them in your code and not trade during those times.

SymbolInfoSessionTrade returns:

From: 1970.01.01 00:00:00,

To: 1970.01.02 00:00:00

through out back testing in strategy tester. Please note the day is different 01 vs 02.

Also above error is raised when TimeCurrent returns a time within market hours e.g. 2022.08.04 11:12:25 .

Currency pair I am testing on is EURUSD and I am using Fusion Markets Zero demo account and MetaTrader demo account. Also I am only using 1 month of back testing so dates cannot go to 1970.
