first you need to know how you can find market is opening
today it might be the market was trading again at 00:00
but coming night same time it is already open.... the market is not closing today...
so how do you know market is closed and how do you know market is open ??

I validate the day. so everyday i get new market open hours.
{
if (nday != Day())
{
Return();
}

That is not opening at new market the market is open 24 hours a day or 5 times 24 hours
what you want when the day is 3 hours old the EA has to trade
brokers have different timezones so on other account it might be you have to change settings to get it trade the same
for your code there are several ways to handle
{ int nday = TimeDay(Time[3]); if(nday != Day()) { return(); }
using your code i would define it like this ofcours on a 1H chart
and also not capital letter return()
