Hi guys when I test my martingale EA that I’ve created the strategy tester function seems to ignore my command of the EA only trading at certain hours. Any reason or solution to this would be much appreciated!

Can you post your function for checking the time?
Here's an example function that checks if can trade depending on the hours. Do you use days as well or just hours ?
void checkIfCanTrade() {
datetime time_now = TimeCurrent();
datetime startTime = StrToTime(inptV.start_hours);
datetime stopTime = StrToTime(inptV.stop_hours);
if (inptV.useTradingHours)
{
if (time_now >= startTime && time_now <= stopTime)
{
tickV.allowed_to_trade = true;
if (dbg) {
Print("Trading hours allowed");
}
}
else
{
if (dbg) {
Print("Trading hours NOT allowed");
}
tickV.allowed_to_trade = false;
}
}
else
{
tickV.allowed_to_trade = true;
}
}
start_hours and stop hours are declared like strings:
string start_hours = "00:00"; // Start
string stop_hours = "23:59"; // Stop
I hope this helps.
