    MqlDateTime day;
    string WeekDay[] = {"SUN","MON","TUE","WED","THU","FRI","SAT"};
    datetime openLondon = D'09:00:00';
    datetime openNYork  = D'15:00:00';
    VLine(WeekDay[day.day_of_week] + " | UK Open",openLondon,true,clrSnow,1,STYLE_DASHDOTDOT,false);

Hi Paul

I am still getting invalid date error though modified the Code to include the date. Any idea what is wrong ?

void CTradeState::Set_TradeState()
  {
  //--- FRIDAY, no new position to open after 20.00 Hrs
    Set_TradeState(D'2021.01.01 20:00', D'2021.01.01 23.59', FRIDAY, TRADE_NO_NEW_ENTRY);
  //--- Asian Session Position Open NOT Allowed
    Set_TradeState(D'2021.01.01 00:00', D'2021.01.01 06:59', ALL_DAYS_OF_WEEK, TRADE_WAIT);

Please be more careful, the separator between hour and minute is a ":" not a dot "."
