I know a lot of EAs can have a time function built in , I was just wondering if anyone had come across one that just activates the Auto trading button on Empty4

Thanks

Hi Ian,

That would obviously have to be a script, not an EA. How can an EA run, to enable itself when EAs are disabled?

Attached is a script that will do the job.

 if(doUseReactivateExpertsAfterClose==true && IsExpertEnabled()==false)
     {
      doEnabaleEA();
void doEnabaleEA()
  {
   if(expertsDisabeled==true)
     {
      if(TimeElapsedSinceLastHistoTrade()>DeltaTimeHistoTrades)
        {

        //..
         if(windowHdlFound>0) PostMessageA(windowHdlFound,WM_COMMAND,33020,0);
         Sleep(3000);
         if(IsExpertEnabled()==true && expertsDisabeled==true)
           {
            Alert("EquitySL/TP"+": Now ExpertAdvisors are re-activated!");
            expertsDisabeled=false;
           }
         if(IsExpertEnabled()==false)
           {

            Alert("EquitySL/TP"+" was unable to re-activate all EAs at "+TimeToStr(TimeLocal()));
            expertsDisabeled=true;
           }
        }

     }

  }
     }

Thank you for the replys , as usual I did not explain what I need very well .

I am looking for a script ? to enable auto trading at a specific time e.g 01.05 local time on my computer , so I can go to bed with auto trading turned off and my Empty4 will let HGB start trading all the pairs I have it on at a pre-set time .

Thanks

It would need to be an EA that runs the OnTimer() event every so now and then, to check the time and switches the Auto Trading On/Off. Have a look at the attached EA. I don't know if Tommaso's code can do this as well -- I haven't looked at his code. In any case, you can use my code as a starting point. In the attached file, the HourOn and HourOff parameters are supposed to be in the time zone of the local PC.
