About "time filters".
-
Is it correct to put the time filters in the "on tick" event? Is it a "extra work" on the EA to check the time in every tick?
Thanks and congratulations for this fantastic tool.

Yes it is correct to put them there. And yes, each block adds some "extra work", including time filters.

@fxdreema If I put, the filter on weekday filter, does that mean the system only looks at trades once per day? If not, then what makes it different from putting it on the hourly. I am just trying to understand the frequency of the iterations so that I may understand better my global risk management loops and the local loops. Thanks

@len-1 The weekday filter means that all blocks connected below it will be check all days selected in it, the whole day. What you can do is adding a hourly period below it. This means the blocks below this second one will be checked the days selected in the first one and only for the selected hourly period.

@l-andorrà , I had this weekday and hourly (Using server time/military hours) conditions on my EA. These two blocks is connected as number 4 & 5 after the "No trade" block (Number 3) with yellow line connection to Weekday block then red line to Hourly block. Although these blocks is placed in the beginning of the setup, it still does not works. Trades still auto placed in restricted hours. I wonder what else I have miss out to correct this?. I hope you could assist me on this, appreciate any help from you guys.. from Abrams King
