SatyamGanju:
Please show all the program so that it can be fixed
 
Remove the additional OnInit() and OnDeinit() functions.
 
which functions to use instead ? sorry im new to coding , can you rewrite the source code using other functions than OnInit() and OnDeinit() functions.?

Remove the additional 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
 
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
