How can we calculate highest and lowest candle close between specifed EA working hours

[Cuneyt Ates]

Hi dear friends and admins,

One of my expert advisor is running only between 09.30-18.10 hours.

I want to find, in 1 minute chart, highest and lowest candle close between that hours, anyone can help me?

Here is some code:

#include <Trade\PositionInfo.mqh>
...

input int      robotCalismaSaati = 09;  //Ea start hour
input int      robotCalismaDakikasi = 30; //Ea start minute
input int      robotDurmaSaati = 18;  //Ea stop hour
input int      robotDurmaDakikasi = 10; //Ea stop minute

int someIndicatorDefinition; 
  
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Expert initialization function                                   |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
int OnInit()
  {
   someIndicatorDefinition = iCustom(Symbol...
     
   return(INIT_SUCCEEDED);
  }

//--- we work only at the time of the birth of new bar
            static datetime PrevBars=0;
            datetime time_0=iTime(0);
            if(time_0==PrevBars)
               return;
            PrevBars=time_0;
            
         
         
            MqlDateTime islemzamani;       
            datetime zaman = TimeCurrent();
            TimeToStruct(zaman,islemzamani);
            int robotTradeBaslamaZamani = (robotCalismaSaati*3600) + (robotCalismaDakikasi*60);
            int robotTradeSonlanmaZamani = (robotDurmaSaati*3600) + (robotDurmaDakikasi*60);
            int robotAnlikZaman = (islemzamani.hour*3600) + (islemzamani.min*60);
            ZeroMemory(islemzamani);
   

          double closeM1[]; 
          ArraySetAsSeries(closeM1,true); 
          CopyClose(Symbol(),PERIOD_M1,0,5,closeM1);
