New article Creating an EA that works automatically (Part 10): Automation (II) has been published:
Automation means nothing if you cannot control its schedule. No worker can be efficient working 24 hours a day. However, many believe that an automated system should operate 24 hours a day. But it is always good to have means to set a working time range for the EA. In this article, we will consider how to properly set such a time range.
In the vast majority of cases, this will be a much more common fact than it may seem. So, we can do something a little better, something that allows us to stay in the middle ground. The MetaTrader 5 platform allows us to save and load the desired settings from the file. So, you would only have to create a configuration for a given period. For example, you can have a configuration to be used in the morning, and another for the afternoon. To block the EA by the time control system, for example, when the trader is going to rest a little, the trader can upload a settings file directly to the MetaTrader 5 platform, and the configuration will be maintained by the platform itself. This in my view is of great help, as it saves us the trouble of creating additional configuration files just for this purpose.
