Is there an EA to stop Martingale at set time but let current cycle end?

It's all in the title really, but basically I'm looking for a standalone EA or script with a time setting that will stop my Martingale EA from starting another cycle BUT allowing the current cycle to end.

So, for example my Martingale EA starts a series at, say, 2.00pm but I want it to stop trading at 2.30pm and yet the current cycle is still in progress at 2.30. Therefore it should let that one finish all its steps and then stop the EA from starting again......

Does such a thing exist??? If not, does anyone know how to code it? I'm not a programmer but such a thing would have a good use!

I would be so grateful for any help. If you know anything please get in touch. It will add the finishing touches to my system which is working so well. But I need it to complete a final cycle at a set time and stop. I am always in profit at this time but not always there to stop it myself! Will give anyone the system if they can help Many thanks guys, I know I can ask you for your help as you all have so much knowledge!

Hello,

do you use simple Martingale? or something like MA + martingale or soft Martingale?

do you have the code of your system in MQL format? if yes then i can help you to add the "stop at set time" feature. If you do not have the code then i can help you to create it. Let me know if you're interested.
Think twice before going live, even if you own the best trading strategy...

Hi FxMaestro,

Thanks for your quick reply!

I don't know if it's 'soft martingale' (not sure what that means). It might be 'simple' though, but I think it works on RSI rather than MA.

Unfortunately I do not have the code as the version of the EA I have does not allow me to edit it, that is why I initially asked for a standalone timer EA or script. However I would love you to help me add the code somehow if that is possible. Let me know if you are able to help with this and I will send you the EX4 file. If it's not possible to edit it can a new EA be made to work alongside it?

Thanks so much for you input Maesto. I look forward to your reply
