BTW, this version still cannot cross days, I only modify it can cross hours.
If you need arrange cross days transaction I'll modify another version for you later. If you don't have the requirement of cross days, then let it be.
Attached version can cross days.

Thank you man for this great work, the Version works quite well so far
I think you got me wrong, this cross day trading is not the point, it would be very good to can set the starting time (first order cycles) in hours, minutes and SECONDS

Why seconds? Because it is really important to enter short time before volatility kicks in into the Indices or currency pairs. it makes a huge difference if you enter 09:59 like it is possible now or you enter let's say at 09:59:58. In the second case you got in right before the volatility kicks in and you can close the cycles much faster with more profit (ProfitLock)

When not in the working time, Icarus won't initiate any new cycles. However, it will still handle orders in the already initiated cycles.
If you don't let it handles the initiated cycles, then how do you deal with orders in the buy/sell cycles? Are you going to take over control manually?

The main logic of 2.0 and 4.3 are totally indifferent. If you not using any indicators as well as not using ATR to calculate grid size, it should work as 2.0.

Are you sure you are using the later version of 4.3? For example, the version share on the post 1350?

If you number different iterations of an EA the same name, you are always going to have problems identifying.

It's weird but I have the same issue.
You need to change the settings and in some cases by choosing a number for "Number of min lots to chase profit" it would open 2 sets of Buy and Sell like:
"Sell, Buy, Sell, Buy" like bellow:

Meanwhile, using the default values of parameters won't have such a problem:
