Hey, I figured it out finally. Actually the code here does the job.
// skipping bars for a certain time period
static int BarsMissing = 0;
if(hour() >= 19 and hour() < 20) // 0 when the current bar has no price quotes
{
TimeFrame = 0; // set to zero when not in frame
BarsMissing++;
}
else if (hour() == 20 and minute() == 0 )
{
TimeFrame = -BarsMissing; // set TimeFrame to the negative number of skipped bars for ending the frame
BarsMissing = 0;
}
else
TimeFrame = 1; // Normal operation
So, I had it but I didn't see it. Thanks for pushing me in the right direction, again. The reason is I thought Zorro would produce no log file, when skipping bars. But it does and freezes all indicator and other values when TimeFrame is 0. See here:
