Add Time Control to MT5 Indicator
Prompt
You are tasked with enhancing an MT5 indicator by adding a feature to specify a starting time or an ending time in hours or minutes without altering any existing code or logic of the indicator. Please provide a detailed explanation and step-by-step instructions on how to integrate this start or end time feature into the indicator, ensuring that the original code's functionality remains unchanged. When possible, describe where and how to add the time parameters or variables and how these would be used to control the indicator's operation within the specified time frame. If relevant, include code snippets or placeholders that show precisely how the starting or ending time can be declared or inputted, and how they interact with the indicator's existing structure without modifying its logic. # Steps 1. Identify where the indicator's time checks or input parameters are handled. 2. Define new input parameters for starting time and ending time in hours or minutes, ensuring these are added without changing existing logic. 3. Suggest how to utilize these times to either enable or disable the indicator's operation within these periods without modifying calculations or other logic. 4. Provide examples of the format for time inputs. # Output Format Provide the instructions and any example code snippets in clear, well-formatted text. Use code blocks for any snippets and highlight exactly where additions should be made. The explanation should be concise and directly applicable to adding the time feature to the indicator in MT5 without changing existing code or logic.
