AH
off to work so I have to be quick here
"Oh and how does the London Start", 070000, 060000, 130000, 010000);
value work please?"
This is for the TimeNum() function in AFL.
070000 is 7AM london time.
I have placed this in a parameter line of code because where I live
London open (which is currently 15h00 or 150000 ) varies when you guys
and us guys all mess with Daylight savings etc.
