'Hour' - wrong parameters count

New comment
 

I am attempting to restrict the hours during which trading can occur, but I have not been successful with my attempts so far. I would appreciate any input or suggestions on how to accomplish this.


bool IsTradeTime() {

    datetime now = TimeCurrent();

    int hour = Hour(now);
 

To deal with times you can use my solutions:

Functions and code snippets that simplify and clarify the handling of time, broker offset, and the changes to summer or winter time. Accurate timing may be a crucial element in trading. At the current hour, is the stock exchange in London or New York already open or not yet open, when does the trading time for Forex trading start and end? For a trader who trades manually and live, this is not a big problem.

The function Hour() does not exist in MQL5. It does exist for MQL4 but it does not take any parameters — Hour - Date and Time - MQL4 Reference
