Guys...

How can I write a code to make the EA not to trade during certain period (e.g 01:00 GMT 0 - 06:00 GMT 0), even there is a buy/sell signal??

int whattimeisit = TimeHour(TimeCurrent());

This will return a number equal to the current server time. Just compare it to the time you want your EA to run.

int whattimeisit = TimeHour(TimeCurrent());

will give you the current server time hour.

put code before your code where you check for a trade signal:

if (whattimeisit < starthour || whattimeisit > endhour)
return (0);
