Hello everybody! Please advise the utility (expert Advisor or something else 🙂 to enable or disable the “Automatic trading” button in MT4 on a schedule ( by the hour within the day) with the ability to set this-the schedule itself, of course. The point is that not every expert Advisor has such a function ( work on a schedule), and I want to turn on the adviser exactly when it is necessary. Already “steamed up” to look in the Internet, something I can not find anything. Maybe, who knows… Thanks !Â
The utility for enabling and disabling the “Automatic trading” button is needed

For, myself, Yes. Thank you for your answers. I will delve into it!

If you download AutoIt for yourself, and not in the Market, it’s easy to click on anything on the screen.
if(CheckForNewOrder(Symbol(), cmd))Â Â Â Â {
        if(cmd == 0)
            AU3_MouseClick("LEFT", CallX, CallY);
        else
            AU3_MouseClick("LEFT", PutX, PutY);       Â
    }

Metaeditor is a text editor that can compile code into an executable file. (unlike Notepad). You can open an existing code or write a new one in it, and the format will be automatic. mq4 or mq5, depending on the terminal and your desire.
The instruction can be opened in the Metaeditor itselfÂ

Eugene, do I understand correctly that the code should be placed in a file in Metaeditor and saved as an expert Advisor?
Only in what format to create a file? I tried everything, nothing works ))Â
Is there a place to read the instructions?
genino
This is the adviser. You don’t need to turn anything.

How do I make this code work?

Thanks for the answer. Just sorry for the lack of enlightenment, maybe this branch is for initiates and I, being not from that caste, did not get there, but I do not understand programming, I can only use advisors. I, as an option, found a semi-automatic solution: I created my own MT4 profile for each day of the week, in which the necessary trading hours are enabled for each tab of the trading instrument, and the unnecessary ones are disabled. It remains only at the junction of the day to manually switch to the profile corresponding to the coming day of the week. And, as an option to fully automate this process, if possible, an expert Advisor for automatically switching to a given profile on a given day of the week and at a given time would help.

I remembered)
And it was proposed to do all this in the mind, a task for concentration and memory
svalex
yeah…Advisor for managing advisors… so soon they will start looking for an Advisor to manage advisors by managing advisors…ugh..
nuolin
And there is such EA which can in the settings
another EA to put/remove a tick “to use the EA
trade”, that is, that the EA is trading off not at all
terminal button (Autotrading) and certain pairs (tabs) on a specified schedule. Does anyone know if there’s anything anywhere that matches this description?
dken
write to me in kaplickou doing such, you need to stipulate the details of the desired functionality
imelam
🙂 The problem is that I do not know this language. Before that, I studied a little javascript and use… Therefore, you need a utility or that someone wrote the code 🙂

In order to stop trading, it is not necessary to click on the button.
Write a schedule in the expert Advisor and disable it according to this schedule.
void OnTick(){
  if ( stop_trading ) return;
  //Your code....
}
