OpenTime 2 – EA MetaTrader 5

This EA is a further development of OpenTime version 1.

What’s new in version 2

• The EA now allows setting two time intervals, inside which positions can be opened;
• It also allows setting the days of the week when opening of positions is allowed;
• The following parameters can be specified independently for each time interval:
  • Trading type: BUY or SELL
  • Stop Loss
  • Take Profit

The same lot size and trailing function are used for the two intervals. The EA may have only one position in each time interval.

A unique magic number is generated for each time interval. The magic number for interval #1 magic is specified in input parameters:

input ushort         InpTakeProfitTwo  = 90;                      // TakeProfit time interval #2 (in pips)
input string _____3_____="Advisor Options";
input ulong          m_magic=714479490;                           // MagicNumber time interval #1 (time interval #2 == MagicNumber+1)
//---
input ulong m_slippage=30;

This magic number is saved in the internal m_magic_one variable, while the magic number of the interval #2 is saved in the internal m_magic_two variable, which is larger than m_magic_one by one:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//---
#define m_magic_one m_magic
#define m_magic_two m_magic_one+1
//---
#include <Trade\PositionInfo.mqh>
