Following settings for advanced users to deactivate trading at certain hours.
Start, stop and a pause can be set, seperate for buy & sell and for every day of the week. For Monday buy:
Then follow the sell settings and the same for next days. A day is completely deactivated if HourStart & HourStop are equal.
Note: A pause can be one hour or up to 10 hours.
The 'hundreds' before the 'pause-hour' number determines how many hours more the pause lasts.
A setting like: TueHourPauseS=509 means:
The pause for sell starts at 9 and goes on the 5 following hours, so here from 9-14. (14 included, still pause)
In the 'Experts' log a pause is indicated at the start of every hour with pause, for the case above: Pause Tue Sell hr 9-14
Before version 1.5 the Limit Scalper start and end hours were limited internally from 9 -19h.
With the added settings it is also possible to widen the trading hours- or to check if the strategy works with other pairs at certain hours.
