Here is my demo. I've modified the validation of HH/HL or LH/LL to what I'm comfortable with.

Can you post your modified version or the values you've used?

Hi Steve, at the risk of getting tasered, if you do get a little time at some point to add some trading hours, as I've noticed if a raft of trades are taken after about 10 pm uk time, it can result in a bit of dd. If the option was added, I'd probably turn off trading between 23:00 and 5:00. Just a thought.

Keep imbibing wine and having baths dude,

Check the EA inputs

Code: Select all

//CheckTradingTimes. Baluda has provided all the code for this. Mny thanks Paul; you are a star.
extern string	trh				= "----Trading hours----";
extern string	tr1				= "tradingHours is a comma delimited list";
extern string   tr1a            = "of start and stop times.";
extern string	tr2				= "Prefix start with '+', stop with '-'";
extern string   tr2a            = "Use 24H format, local time.";
extern string	tr3				= "Example: '+07.00,-10.30,+14.15,-16.00'";
extern string	tr3a			= "Do not leave spaces";
extern string	tr4				= "Blank input means 24 hour trading.";
extern string	tradingHours="";

just set tradingHours variable to the hours you require for trading ie 5am to 11pm.

Nice work Steve having a play with this one.

Regards

Mike

Hmmmmmm. I wonder which one of Baluda's trading time inputs - inputs that have gone out with every single one of my EA's since the dawn of time - did you miss? "----Trading hours----" perhaps?

Or any one of the next 7 lines of instructions telling you how to enter them.

As described in any one of the hundreds of user guides littered around this forum?

In every EA I have released since Paul gave me the code. Ok, so there might have been an ea that I coded for public consumption that did not include them, but I cannot remember one.

Have a look down the list of damn inputs Cal. I know there are a few, but this ain't a Hand-Holding-Therapy-Giving-Ickle-Lamby-Wamby-EA-For-Dimwits bot. You just might find something that fits the bill.

Possibly.

On a good day.

If still stuck, the chart feedback might give you a clue. Mine says, "24 hour trading" because the trading hours inputs allow it.

Insert by forum owner SH:
I have deleted the modification. Please do not dilute what is going on here with versions that could confuse others. The version used here is the version in post 1. Feel free to share setfiles amongst yourselves by pm; that is a different matter altogether.

No problems Steve!

Erm I'll leave now.....and flush my head down the toilet, hecks!

Hi Steve I wanted to know what you think if we should add the option to TP based on ATR like OAD?

Can't do any harm and will not take long to do. Probably not today, but soon.

Thanks Steve!
