Hi all,
I was wondering if there's any one who could help me with this seemingly simple task. I want to be able to monitor the amount of time I spend trading each day, to identify the optimum time I can trade for before my results start tailing off.
Therefore I want to create an expert with a time counter that starts when I open MT4 and continues to run until MT4 is closed. However I wanted the counter to keep counting from where it left off each time MT4 is reloaded until I choose to reset it. Eg, if I open MT4 three times for a 1 hour duration, I want the counter to show 3 hours. It would also be good to be able to manually reset it to zero but not essential as I can calculate the difference or unload/reload it.
As a bonus, it would also be great if there was a separate counter that totals the total time with MT4 open and a trade open until reset. EG if I open 3 trades for 20 mins each, i want the counter to read 60mins. This function isn't as important though as the data is in my account history, only if you are particularly able.
Many thanks to anyone that can help.
Best, Nate
