How to get the value indicator in a specific time every day

int day_begin=0, day_end=149, hr_begin=15, hr_end=18;
   double value=0;
   datetime checkingTime;
   MqlDateTime mT;
   for (int day=day_begin; day<=day_end; day++){// testing past 150 days
      TimeToStruct(iTime(_Symbol, PERIOD_D1, day), mT);
      
       for(int hr=hr_begin; hr<hr_end; hr++){// checking only hours from 15:00 to 18:00
         mT.hour = hr;
         checkingTime = StructToTime(mT);  
         value += iCustom(_Symbol,_Period,"indicator_name",..,iBarShift(_Symbol,_Period,checkingTime));
      }
 
   }
   double average = (day_end-day_end+1)*(hr_end - hr_begin + 1);
   if (average >0) average = value/average; else average=0;

   int counter=0;
   int mn, prd=PERIOD_M1;//to test mn also
   int day_begin=0, day_end=9;// prd limit> day_end >= day_begin >=0
   int hr_begin=15, hr_end=18;// 24> hr_end >= hr_begin >=0
   double average, value=0;
   datetime checkingTime;
   MqlDateTime mT;  
   for (int day=day_begin; day<day_end; day++){// testing past 10 days candels
      TimeToStruct(iTime(_Symbol, PERIOD_D1, day), mT);
      
      for(int hr=hr_begin; hr<hr_end; hr++){// checking hours from 15:00 to 18:00
         mT.hour = hr;
         mn=0;
        
         while (mn<60){
            mT.min=mn;
            checkingTime = StructToTime(mT);  
            //value += iCustom(_Symbol,prd, ..,iBarShift(_Symbol,prd,checkingTime));
            mn +=prd;//next period candle
            counter++;
         }
      }
      if (counter !=0) average = value/counter; else average=0;
  }

Dani, your approach and the one proposed by paulselvan are too complicated. There is no need for loops and no need for manually comparing times. use iBarShift() with your target timeframe to find the bar of the target timeframe you want use iCustom() with the bar returned by iBarShift() to get the custom indicator value of the exact time of the day you want Loops will make your program slow and prone to errors. Avoid them whenever...

#resource CallIndicator.ex4
extern ENUM_TIMEFRAMES CheckTime = PERIOD_D1;
for(int i = CheckPeriod+1; i >= 0 ; --i)
{    
    datetime HighTF = iTime(_Symbol,PERIOD_CURRENT,i);
    int y = iBarShift(_Symbol,CheckTime,HighTF);
 
    double _AvgDist = iCustom(_Symbol, CheckTime,"::Indicators\\CallIndicator.ex4",Type,CheckPeriod,0,y);
}

1. use iBarShift() with your target timeframe to find the bar of the target timeframe you want
2. use iCustom() with the bar returned by iBarShift() to get the custom indicator value of the exact time of the day you want

Totally agree, Working with iCustom and iBarShift more efficient way.
Later buffer indicator can added with #resource and called by example to decrease file number in to 1
