thanks heaps in advance. |
Try to use slightly different function TimetoOpen()(from NewsTrader) in your EA:
bool TimeToOpen()
{
bool result = false;
for (int i=0; i<=NewsNum; i++)
{
datetime OpenTime = dt[i] - TimeGap*60; //ex. 2h = 120
if((TimeCurrent() < OpenTime && TimeCurrent() >= OpenTime+TimeGap*60))
{result=true; break;}
}
return(result);
}
Сall of this function you should place in the main condition of orders opening.
Ex. if (MA1>MA2.... && TimeToOpen()) ...
