Hi Experts, 

i need help. i want my ea to stop trade on friday. 

I use the dayofweek function. below is my code, 


   

   int        dayOfWeek = DayOfWeek(TimeCurrent());

    if (dayOfWeek == 5) // 5 is for Friday

    {

        return (0);

    }


But the mql compiler stated error message "DayOfWeek' - wrong parameters count" can someone provide some advise how to fix it ? thanks

  2. Perhaps you should read the manual. DayOfWeek takes no paremeter. TimeDayOfWeek does.

  3. Don't hard code constants.
    Use the proper enumerations (ENUM_DAY_OF_WEEK)
    		 
    if (dayOfWeek == FRIDAY) // 5 is for Friday
