SatyamGanju:

Please show all the program so that it can be fixed

[Keith Watford]

Remove the additional OnInit() and OnDeinit() functions.

[SatyamGanju]

which functions to use instead ? sorry im new to coding , can you rewrite the source code using other functions than OnInit() and OnDeinit() functions.?

You have duplicated the functions.

Show your code if you need more help.

 Really ontick();

  if (TimeCurrent() < allowed_until) 
    {        
    }

what is it going to do now?

int OnInit()
  {
//---
   printf("This EA is valid until %s", TimeToString(allowed_until, TIME_DATE|TIME_MINUTES));
   datetime now = TimeCurrent();
   
   if (now < allowed_until) 
         Print("EA time limit verified, EA init time : " + TimeToString(now, TIME_DATE|TIME_MINUTES));
   
    
//---
   return(0);
  }

Note the date set:

datetime allowed_until = D'2012.02.11 00:00'; 

Also password I am sure is meant to be a string, unless you a file or other means.

int password_status = -1;

Your PivotsX file compiles with no errors

[SatyamGanju]

Yes  I know that it compiles with no error... But when I add above mentioned code to make my indicator time bound it shows the error which is mentioned above.. pls check everything & thanks a lot for helping
