What is your understanding of closing a trade? Time? Closing the previous day bar?

or you can set the time by the hour. set the time interval

extern int BeginHour = 1;
extern int EndHour = 23;

if(Hour() >= BeginHour && Hour() < EndHour)
{
// ......
}

You can add a minute gap.

Hi @Maritingeil

i use h1 time frame, so i think the first suggestion does not suit me.
about the second suggestion, suppose that market is closed sooner, for ex. 9pm, then this condition does not work.

Thank you for your prompt reply

What are you trading? Futures? If you had discovered the full picture, it would be better for you. I'm not an extrasensory.

im working on SPOT Gold. what i meant was if market is closed early (for ex bank holiday in us), then this code does not work...
isn't there a better idea to work with time?
i couldn't find a good solution from pre defined function (marketinfo(), getticktime(), etc) or i couldn't understand them well. thats why i asked this...

ok, still processing these functions which don't have any example.. (useless developers)
but it seems when new tick comes, it refresh my output. i mean probably they can't show me Market closure before the first tick of next day (but im not sure)

is there any code that use timelocal() or timecurrent(), or can we use GetLastError() function to see Whether market is closed or not?
i know that brokers are responsible to some of these difficulties, but i hope there is another solution for this..
