you can use the iTime() function

like this

PHP Code:


			
      bool allowtrade=true;

      for (int cnt = 0 ; cnt < OrdersTotal() ; cnt++)

      {

         OrderSelect(cnt,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES);

         if (OrderSymbol()==Symbol() && OrderMagicNumber()==MagicNo)

         {    

            int lastopentime = OrderOpenTime();

            if(lastopentime>iTime(Symbol(),PERIOD_H1,0))

                     allowtrade = false;

         }   

      }



      //---------



      if(allowtrade)

      {

          OrderSend(..........);

      }

do you mean, you want to trade only after 00:00 O'clock of your gmt 12 time?

anyway

1st you need to know the server time

then convert it to the gmt time

and use the iTime(Symbol(),PERIOD_D1,0) as a reference ,
it's the 00:00 O'clock of the server time

if server time is on gmt +2
then only allow to trade only after iTime(Symbol(),PERIOD_D1,0)+(10*60*60)

like

if(CurTime()>iTime(Symbol(),PERIOD_D1,0)+(10*60*60 ))
{
OrderSend(.....);
}

-------------
hope it helps
