Use currency pairs to define trading hours.
-
I want to assign different trading hours for different groups of currency pairs (#9). I know if I create a condition for each of the single currency pairs (#28) in different branches and then connect them to a modify variable block, where I store the time ,I will be able to do it. But doing it by symbol group would be more efficient. Can I use a "no trade" block to group symbols ? or create an condition using a random indicator that always passes as true and use the symbol field to group symbols in that block?

different groups of currency pairs
What do you exactly mean by 'different groups of currency pairs'? Have you created different group numbers in you project?

@l-andorrà . Thanks for your time. I grouped currency pairs (offline, not in my project) based on first session open, last session close time. So after doing that I ended up with 9 groups of different currency pairs. So basically, what I want my EA to do is to read the market symbol, check to which currency group it belongs, then assign the trading open and close time. I know I can create a condition for every single currency pair and connect it to a modify variable block to assign the time. But wondering if there is a block in the system I can use to group, say 3 currency pairs and then connect it to a modify variable block , rather than 3 condition blocks connected to a modify variable...

@gonza You can try this for all symbols including EUR. Didn't test it, though.

@l-andorrà Thanks, I saw another option to use base and quote currencies as parameters, might be useful as well. But in the end still need to create to many blocks. I think I will adjust it on the settings for each chart. Thanks again.
