Timing question

[Gordon Gekko]

Aloha Gurus!

I'd like my EA to do something every day between let's say 09:45 and 11:15, i.e. the EA runs continuously and when the time is within that interval then EA do make its job.

I know my friends are TimeHour and TimeMinute, but have no exact idea.

Have you any solution for it?

Thanx in advance

You could use TimeHour and minute but it's easier to just to keep it a unit.

#define HR2400 (PERIOD_D1 * 60)  // 86400 = 24 * 3600
int      TimeOfDay(datetime when=0){      if(when == 0)  when = TimeCurrent();
                                          return( when % HR2400 );            }
datetime DateOfDay(datetime when=0){      if(when == 0)  when = TimeCurrent();
                                          return( when - TimeOfDay(when) );   }
//datetime Tomorrow( datetime when=0){      if(when == 0)  when = TimeCurrent();
//                                          return(DateOfDay(when) + HR2400);   }
//datetime Yesterday(datetime when=0){      if(when == 0)  when = TimeCurrent();
//   int iD1 = iBarShift(NULL, PERIOD_D1, DateOfDay(when) - 1);
//                                       return( iTime(NULL, PERIOD_D1, iD1) ); }

const int AM0945 = 35100; // ( 9 * 60 + 45) * 60
const int AM1145 = 42300; // (11 * 60 + 45) * 60

int now = TimeOfDay();
if(AM0945 <= now && now < AM1145) ...

That's a fine solution, thank you WHRoeder!
