Can anyone help me modify this attached code?

I am trying to build a simple moving average indicator & rsi indicator that only pay attention to prices during the hours >= 8 to <= 19 GMT. I want the indicator to ignore any prices that fall outside of this hourly range.

It would seem that I should be able to build an array of closing prices where I ignore any hours that don't within the above range. This seems easy however I don't want to have to rebuild the entire array on every new tick.

Can anyone advise how this might be accomplished? I have written lots of EA's but the functions related to indicators and indicator writing itself is very new to me. thanks in advance.

Bob

You can use the iTime() function to get the time of a bar, and then just use a TimeHour() comparison to see if it's within your range... like:

Inserted Code
datetime CloseTime = iTime(Symbol(),15,1);
if ((TimeHour(CloseTime) < min_hour) || (TimeHour(CloseTime) > max_hour)) {
    return(0);
}


You get the idea...
