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

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.
