ENUM_SYMBOL_TRADE_MODE SymbolInfoInteger(string name, int prop_id);

ENUM_SYMBOL_TRADE_MODE

Identifier	Description
SYMBOL_TRADE_MODE_DISABLED	Trade is disabled for the symbol
SYMBOL_TRADE_MODE_LONGONLY	Allowed only long positions
SYMBOL_TRADE_MODE_SHORTONLY	Allowed only short positions
SYMBOL_TRADE_MODE_CLOSEONLY	Allowed only position close operations
SYMBOL_TRADE_MODE_FULL	No trade restrictions

 Trade is disabled while the market is closed, if I remember.

Another option is using the standard library CSymbolInfo class, which can save you some time writing functions.

There's an article related to verifying and checking limitations of your EA.

Sorry but  this doesn't work! Altough it's sunday and the marked it OBVIOUSLY should be closed - the function returns SYMBOL_TRADE_MODE_FULL.

Then again if I'll try to open an order it will return error: Market Closed!

Please help someone, I can't believe there is no such function.

Did it help you? What session index to use to get the info for the current session? If I use 0, it gets me some 1970 dates, if I use any other number it fails to get session info.
