Been enjoying this indy last couple of days but just noticed it's now not operating correctly. I suspect it has something to do with the fact that we're now off hours. When I rebooted MT4 after hours (it's New Year's eve right now) all the sessions ...

DateTime constants edited in user inputs adds hours — Here's another issue I just discovered: ------------- DateTime constants edited in user param settings always add 7 hours to whatever time is entered. I think the 7 comes from the fact that ...
