Help! Need Time Filter / Time mgt

smeden · #1 (**permalink**) 03-22-2006, 03:32 PM

Hi
I am looking for a time/day filter where I can choose what hours I want to trade and what days.
Not just from 8:00 - 20:00 but ex.

Monday=true
Trading Hours= 1,2,3,8,9,10,11,12,15,16,19,20 // This is the same as (01:00-03:00)(8:00-16:00)and agan (19:00-20:00)

Tuesday=false

I want to be able to choose the different hours a day.

Anyone got a link to such a filter or can someone please program it?

Hi,
Anyone have EA sample with time filter or time management, please?
For example, the EA will work only from time x to time y every day.
or when time is between x to y so use EA mode A. And when time is between i to j use EA mode trade B

Thanks

I need help coding a Time Filter that will only allow trades between time 'x' and time 'y'. I found one at Cubesteak Central » Blog Archive » 3 Fold Trading Hours Filter for EA that I really like, but am having trouble integrating it with what I'm doing.

In reading the page is says:
"Simply wrap all your EA logic in the call to HourlyFilter()"

and

"Pseudo code for placement in the Start() function is:
if HourlyFilter()
{
PerformEALogic();
}
else return (0);"

Being new to MQL4, I'm not sure exactly what this means. I'm sure it's very simple, but I'm a noob ;-)

I am also open to other suggestions on how to create this time filter...

Can anyone help?

Thanks!

Scott
