Hi

I don´t know if as a string variable it will work or not but remind what @fxDreema has explained in the forum about this: if there is no tick coming at that time, it will not be posible to meet the condition time.

@fxDreema suggested to use a period of time to get what you want such as if time > 23:30 --> Close positions using the condition block or a time filter block.

Should work.

Thank you.

If you are talking about the comment, the attribute that every order has, I'm afraid that you can't change it. Only in OrderSend() we can set that "comment" parameter (https://docs.mql4.com/trading/ordersend). For partial close OrderClose() is used, but as you can see, there is no "comment" parameter there - https://docs.mql4.com/trading/orderclose

I added this into the function, I hope this will not break something else 🙂

Delay block is the only one that requests DLL usage. This is the actual code:

#import "kernel32.dll" bool SleepEx(int ms, bool bAlertable); #import

So, MQL4 have native Sleep() function, which works in live, but has no effect when backtesting. But I wanted to have the ability to pause for a while when using the "Visual mode". This imported function SleepEx() allows me to pause the EA in Visual mode, and I really use this option on a regular basis. Most times I would just connect the "Delay" block after "Buy now" or "Sell now", so then the EA would wait for a while after the creation of each trade, which is very helpful when I want to analyse something.

This DLL usage is obviously harmless. And by default SleepEx() is not even used, because you need to select in the Delay block that you want to use Realtime delay for Visual mode. But the DLL is requested anyway.

Ok, you have it. Tell me if it doesn't work correctly

Not really, any EA built with fxDreema is enclosed in it's own MetaTrader and you can communicate with other EAs in the same MetaTrader at most (using Terminal Variables)

Timer and ChartEvent events are not handled in the Strategy Tester.

Thank you very much.

Is there something special about the times 12:01 and 12:00 or I can try it with any time... like the time that is in the next 3 minutes for example?

Also, most (if not all) indicators that put arrows work on candle ID at least 1

Thank you very much.
