Order Send and Traders Time

[Mary Ann Thompson]

hello, if i have to link Trader's choice of Time to trade with  OrderSend in EA  using the  following
code: 

 

 

          TIME:

  bool TradeTime=false;

    if (Hour()>StartHour)&&(Hour()<EndHour))

          || (Hour()==StartHour&&Minute()>=StartMinute)
           || (Hour()==EndHour&&Minute()<EndMinute)
)
        TradeTime=true;

   [ORDERSEND].

int ms = GetTickCount ();
      tick = OrderSend (Symbol (), dir, lots, price, use_slp, use_sl, use_tp, "", magic_number) ;
      placing the following can the Traders Time be executed on EA.

 

(The trader has to select a specific time to trade.)


 Still not getting the result. Pls any suggestions

1. Play video	Please edit your post. For large amounts of code, attach it.

2. Check your return codes (OrderSend) and find out why. What are Function return values ? How do I use them ? - MQL4 forum and Common Errors in MQL4 Programs and How to Avoid Them - MQL4 Articles

 if (Hour()>StartHour)&&(Hour()<EndHour))
 
 //Is the same as

 if (Hour()>StartHour)
     &&(Hour()<EndHour))

Sort out your () brackets as they are not correctly placed. Does your code even compile?

 

  if((Hour()>StartHour && Hour()<EndHour)
      || (Hour()==StartHour && Minute()>=StartMinute)
      || (Hour()==EndHour && Minute()<EndMinute))

is better. Your code does not take into account if the session period passes through midnight
