Once per Day
-
Personally I think that the Once per Day Block does not make much sense to use a time range (does not apply).
Because if I put for example from 09:00 to 18:00 hours; If the condition is not met at 09:00, what happens the rest of the day does not matter and strictly speaking what should happen is that if the condition is met in that time range, the operation should be opened (which would be the only operation of the day).
In addition, to compensate for this issue, it is not useful for me to use the check trades count block, since if there are operations the day before, perhaps I will not open new operations on the corresponding day.
And I saw all the discussion on the forum about this topic and it is recurring, apparently.
Well, I leave the discussion raised, how to make ONE operation in the range from 02:00 to 20:00? and not that only the condition is met at 02:00. -

Yes, in fact, the same block has a start time and an end time, which I don't know what the meaning is because if I put it, for example, from 1:00 to 5:00, if it doesn't happen at 1:00 the condition does not matter what happens next.
The problem with the other blocks is that I can't condition it to only make one trade per day; Since when using the temporary block, if you close the trade, you continue to open others during the day.
That is why I brought to the discussion what is the purpose of the block once per day? Is it that I do a single operation and that the condition just happens at that same time? -
I think it's a problem of interpretation. Block names need to be short and I can't fit too much information in the name.
Also, I made this block a looooong time ago, it's been used by many people and I can't change it just like that. This is true for all blocks. I regret adding some of them, or their parameters. Not to mention that sometimes people get used to some functionality, even if it is stupid. Once I decided to remove the "Change Status to" thing, and immediately someone wanted it back.
Otherwise the idea is that the block can pass 1 time per date. Those hours filters in it are doing what a "Hours filter" block would do if you place it above "Once a day". With such period of time enabled, the idea is that the block can pass only when the time is inside this period. If you have a period from 1:00 to 5:00, it would pass at 4:59 if this is the first time the block gets executed. This depends on what blocks are above it. If there are no blocks above it, it would pass very close to 1:00, at the first tick after this time.
The "At certain hour" option is a little bit stupid, but the idea here is that the period is 1 minute long.

Thanks for the answer, that's why I put the topic up for discussion; He did not intend for the name to be changed or a request to be made, far from it.
But I think that if one has an EA in which you have a series of conditions and that the signal is given at the exact time, I don't know how feasible it is? Now if you want it to do it at a specific time, then you could use once per hour and set the time and that's it.
I try to understand the meaning of that block; because if I want to do a single operation in which the condition is met for example between 10:00 and 12:00, it became clear to me that this is not the block. Note: Use translator
