Hey... my first Mql4 code here, maybe we have a lot of bugs on this simple EA code, for sure.
Btw, on testing is giving me some good results with some tweaking, lets see...
Test with original settings/rules (01/01/2017)-(10-10-2018):
Test with some different settings/rules (01/01/2017)-(10-10-2018):
The EA is here... feel free to test with different settings.

Hello Inbox,
Looking at your graphs (for original settings), you may have made the same mistake as me... wasn't aware MT5 was set at GMT +2/+3 by default, and using TimeGMT() doesn't work in the strategy testers, so I was operating from a completely different window.
With a 1:1 ratio now, using the correct timeframe from 1/1/17, with the only addition to standard rules being trading only 15-45 pip windows, using 0.01 lots constantly on a $1000 starting BR, here is my current graph:

{quote} Hello Penguinthief, i'm using "TimeCurrent()" to get the server time, letting the user decide the best Start Time and End Time of the box. If my broker is GMT+2 and i need a Start Time at 02h00, i must set the EA to 00h00. Same thing applies to the End Time. Known Issue: EA only let me set a Start Time after 00h00. The Start and End Time, must be on the same day.
Mine adjusts for GMT, then looks for the first candle where the hour segment of an MqlDateTime structure reaches 2. At that point, it then scans the previous 16 candles to give it the 4hr window (16 x 15m = 4h) to get highs and lows and set my buy/sell limits. That way I don't care that the start time, 2200, is on a different day.
I'd share code but I'm in MQL5 and don't know what is different

{quote} Thats a nice point of view, using only the End Time! Just curious to test it and see the differences.
My broker using Central European time CET. Winter time GMT +1, summer time GMT +2.
I set Period Begin 00:00
Period End 04:00
Sessin End 22:45 .
Did i do it right ?

Sell opened here on second candle even though it hasn't closed outside bottom of box.
Ideally would be good for an EA that could set so it opens a trade:
1. on the first candle to close outside box
1. and that close is within x% of the height of the box.

Good evening Emerald2112,
I've implemented the x% rule into my EA, and realistically it didn't gain us much in terms of profitability. I think that whilst a close that is a large % outside of the box limits our profitability due to having a smaller pip value to climb, the larger numbers also show strength and maybe an ability to more frequently hit our TP, so it kind of counteracts eachother.
Have included a screenshot for 0-20% values (far right column, 'maxPercentBreak'). You'll be able to see that, except the 4% value (which seems nothing more than force-fitting), the profit factor stays pretty much the same all the way through.
