Adding trading hours filter code for EA

Hi,I'm trying to add a hour trade filter to my ea:

extern string TL_Ex = "------- Hour settings: set to zero for no limitations";
extern bool TradeHour = true;
extern int StartHour = 00;
extern int StartMinute = 30;
extern int EndHour = 23;
extern int EndMinute = 30;



if(TradeHour)
{
int hour = TimeHour(TimeCurrent());
int minute = TimeMinute(TimeCurrent());

if(!((StartHour == 0 && EndHour == 0) || (hour >= StartHour && hour <= EndHour)) ||
(StartMinute > 0 && hour == StartHour && minute < StartMinute) ||
(EndMinute > 0 && hour == EndHour && minute > EndMinute)) { return(0); }
}

but if i want for example to trade from 22:00 to 05:00 it doesn't work, what should I change?

thanks,

I've found something that works fine..

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
bool tradeTime()
{
if(TradeTimeFilter) {
datetime time_now, time_begin, time_end, time_end_today;
time_now = TimeCurrent();
time_begin = StrToTime(TradeBegin);
if(!EndInTomorrow) {
time_end = StrToTime(TradeEnd);
}
else if(EndInTomorrow) {
time_end = StrToTime(TradeEnd) + 86400;
time_end_today = StrToTime(TradeEnd);
}
if(!EndInTomorrow && (time_now<time_begin || time_now>time_end)) {
return(false);
}
else if(EndInTomorrow && time_now>time_end_today && time_now<time_begin) {
return(false);
}
}
return(true);
}


thanks

An elegant way to solve this problem is to make an array of 24 positions, like a day has 24 hours.
In every position you put for example a zero (or false) value if do not trade and otherwise if do trade (basically a switch on/off).
Then you simply look up the current hour and use it as an index to the permissions array.
This way you need no if-statements, code becomes quite simple, and you can implement any time pattern with no additional effort (code)..
In example:

there is a trade-hours filter by Steve Hopwood and Baluda available. find it for example in this ea: http://www.forexfactory.com/attachme...0&d=1397575256 ...
