If you have the code, you can add a temporary filter activating the trading within your select dates/times.

You have to know something about coding to do this.

int h = TimeHour(TimeCurrent());
int m = TimeMinute(TimeCurrent());
int Running;

if(h == 11 && m >= 25)
{Running = 1;}

if(h == 15 && m >= 10)
{Running = 0;}

if(Running == 1)
{
// Your code here
}

If you get this to work, there is a way to change the timings. I will show that if you get it to work.
