Time & Range Based Pending Order EA – Specification

The EA is purely time-based and range-based.

It should work on any timeframe chart (M1 recommended), but all logic is based on broker server time.

Trading Session

First pending order of the day is at 02:00 server time.

Then every 30 minutes a new set of pending orders is created: 02:00, 02:30, 03:00, 03:30, … up to 21:30.

After 21:30 no new orders are created; the next cycle starts the following day.

Range Definition

For each slot time T (e.g. 02:00, 02:30, 03:00, …):

Define a 1-hour lookback range:

range_start = T - 60 minutes

range_end = T

Use all candles between range_start and range_end (inclusive of the last bar before/at T).

Calculate:

RangeHigh = highest high in this interval

RangeLow = lowest low in this interval

Order Placement at Each Slot

Exactly at time T the EA places two pending orders:

Buy Stop at RangeHigh

Sell Stop at RangeLow

Both orders:

Same lot size (from input)

Same SL and TP distance (from input)

With a unique Magic Number (from input) so the EA only manages its own orders.

Must respect a MaxSpread filter (from input); if spread is above MaxSpread at time T, skip that slot.

Order Expiration

Each pair of pending orders must have an expiry time:

expire_time = T + 55 minutes

If neither pending order is triggered before expire_time, both are automatically deleted or expire.

Example:

Slot 02:00 → Range 01:00–02:00 → orders expire at 02:55.

Slot 02:30 → Range 01:30–02:30 → orders expire at 03:25.

Slot 03:00 → Range 02:00–03:00 → orders expire at 03:55, and so on.

Overlap

It is allowed for multiple sets of pending orders to be active at the same time (e.g. 02:00 and 02:30 slots overlapping).

Each order should have a Comment or Magic-based identifier so we know which slot it belongs to (optional but useful).



Optional: allowed trading days (e.g. Monday–Friday only).

Notes

Open trades are managed only by their SL and TP (no forced daily close unless we add another input later).

EA must avoid placing duplicate orders for the same slot time T (e.g. use a global/static variable or check existing orders by Comment / Magic).

Please make each of the 39 time-slots individually configurable using input bool UseTrade1..UseTrade39 and separate time parameters (RangeStartN, EntryHourN, EntryMinuteN, ExpireTimeN). If UseTradeN == false, the EA should completely skip that slot and never calculate its range or place its pending orders.
