Hello you can maybe use this:
MqlDateTime
The date type structure contains eight fields of the int type:
struct MqlDateTime { int year; // Year int mon; // Month int day; // Day int hour; // Hour int min; // Minutes int sec; // Seconds int day_of_week; // Day of week (0-Sunday, 1-Monday, ... ,6-Saturday) int day_of_year; // Day number of the year (January 1st is assigned the number value of zero) }; |
Note
The day number of the year day_of_year for the leap year, since March, will differ from a number of the corresponding day for a non-leap year.
Example:
void OnStart() { //--- datetime date1=D'2008.03.01'; datetime date2=D'2009.03.01'; MqlDateTime str1,str2; TimeToStruct(date1,str1); TimeToStruct(date2,str2); printf("%02d.%02d.%4d, day of year = %d",str1.day,str1.mon, str1.year,str1.day_of_year); printf("%02d.%02d.%4d, day of year = %d",str2.day,str2.mon, str2.year,str2.day_of_year); }

void OnStart(){ Print(GetTime()); // 24.5.2023 }
Works fine for me. You are doing something else.
credetarud: But somehow when this runs I get 0.1.1900 every time.Probably not connected to a broker.
- You want the leading zeros. Simplify, generalize.
string GetTime(datetime when=0) { if( when==0) when=TimeCurrent(); return StringFormat("%02d.%02d.%04d", TimeDay(when), TimeMonth(when), TimeYear(when) ); } void OnStart(){ Print(GetTime()); // 24.05.2023 }

Hi,
I'm trying to use these functions. For example this one:
https://docs.mql4.com/dateandtime/day
But somehow when this runs I get 0.1.1900 every time. Not the real broker time. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
