[EquisMetaStock Group] Time Calculation and Testing in Intraday charts

["Athena Research" <athena.investments@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear All,

I am trying to write a code that should provide Buy/Sell Signal with in a time frame in intraday bars. I tried to use Hou() and Minute() functions to find time of current bar but it seems it doesnt work. Depending on my conditions, I get Buy/Sell signals for all day. The following is the Extract of my code that I tested. Please correct this code on how to test time in intraday bars. Frequency of bars doesn't matter, any periodicity from 5 min to 60min will do....

Below is the Indicator Code that I am trying to test. In Expert Advisor, I am calling these Function Variables and Parameters Only. Please suggest where I made mistakes...

Thanks in Advance...

Thanks and Regards,
