Thanks very much swingtraderkk appreciated, this is great to compare with mine, I envy your's and others coding skills..

I will have a look right now

thanks KK, things seem to be working properly using your code, when checking the log file etc as far as i can see...Will look into it more..

Don't envy, just keep at it. I'm only a few months ahead of you.

The thread is very old, still I want comment, that dates are in UTC so to find the first hour of a trading session, you HAVE to use the localized functions, like lhour(). Please think of day light saving, most timezones use that, but UTC not.

Jcl said that in the middle of this tread, but it was ignored, so watch for that if you are using this kind of strategy.
