Use TimeCurrent() to get the actual time, and compare it to the expire time. https://docs.mql4.com/dateandtime

Mladen. I am a fan of your work. I really appreciate the work you have done for the community.. all the updated and free indicator that you have contributed to the community. Hats off to you. I am using some of your indicators to make my fortunes. Unfortunately people are looking for magic lamps, quick fixes, free lunches and handouts.
