Latest highs and lows of custom sessions (mql5)

[Bruce Smith]

Can someone help me figure out how I can get the latest highs and lows of custom sessions? (mql5)

For example the highest price and lowest price between 12:00pm and 3pm, I want to record each into a variable which should update at 7pm each night for the following day.

Use MqlDateTime to get the highs and lows related to a specific hour in a day or range of hours 

example I made to get the highs and lows of the most recent Monday

U could get highs and lows of a specific time range in hours with this example by putting the chart on the H1 timeframe and you would use dt.hour instead of day_of_week
