Thread: Time filter

Hi guys. I need a hand. I do not know anything about programming but I need to add a timefilter to the pipmaker15_3 EA found here: http://www.tradingsystemforex.com/id...r-v15-3-a.html

It has an option atthe moment where I can prevent a trade on a particular date, but that is no good to me. I would like to trade the asian session and see how it works.

Can someone do it for me?

Thanks in advance.

adding my voice to viv108

the time filter & risk management in this ea is not completed
when this option activated , the ea does'nt work by back testing
please help in this matter
Thanks

Let's hope someone helps us out here..

for me, time filter and risk management are different tasks

here is a basic time filter:

extern bool TimeTrading=true;
extern int StartHour=0;
extern int StartMinute=0;
extern int EndHour=8;
extern int EndMinute=0;


//---------Check Time Range----------
if(((Hour()>StartHour)&&(Hour()<EndHour))
|| (Hour()==StartHour&&Minute()>=StartMinute)
|| (Hour()==EndHour&&Minute()<EndMinute))
TimeTrading=true;
else (part is optional! if you want to close orders outside the time)
{
CloseBuyOrders(Magic);
CloseSellOrders(Magic);
return(0);
}

my 2c

do i need to add the code to the EA?

In this EA you can define particular dates for "trading pause starts / ends" like this:

StartTime = 151430; // Trading pause starts at day 15 hour 14, minute 30
EndTime = 151510; // Trading pause ends at day 15 hour 15, minute 10

So try this: find in EA code this line (#867):

PHP Code:

      int t=TimeDay(TimeCurrent())*10000+TimeHour(TimeCurrent())*100+TimeMinute(TimeCurrent()); 


and replace with this code:

PHP Code:

      if(startTime < 2401 && endTime < 2401) {
         startTime = startTime + TimeDay(TimeCurrent())*10000;
         endTime = endTime + TimeDay(TimeCurrent())*10000;
      }
      int t=TimeDay(TimeCurrent())*10000+TimeHour(TimeCurrent())*100+TimeMinute(TimeCurrent()); 


Compile. Now you can enter not only particular dates, but particular times too:

StartTime = 1430; // Trading pause starts every day at hour 14, minute 30
EndTime = 1510; // Trading pause ends every day at hour 15, minute 10

Sorry, Im not testing, only read code :)

just replaced your code with the original one - tried to decomple and now getting a message saying that ' 'start time' variable not defined' and also ' 'end time variable' not defined'. Any ideas?
