3. input string tradingStartTime = "13:30:00"; // NY session start time

   When dealing with time, a lot of people use strings; they can not be optimized. Using (int) seconds or (double) hours and fraction can be inputs.

Hi William,

Thanks for the instructions,

Are you familiar with this types of errors ?

Thanks in advance for your expertise :)

Was this code generated from ChatGPT?

How will the program know when a trade is open?

You only set it to  bool Tradeopen() = false

David12345671234 #: Are you familiar with this types of errors ?

Yes, usually it is result of someone who does not know how to code and expecting ChaGPT to generate code for them (which it does very poorly).

The solution is to learn to code properly yourself (which can take many months or even years) or to hire a human programmer to code it properly.
