## 🔧 Key Improvements
|
|
|
|
### 1. Debug Logging
|
|
```mql5
|
|
// Before
|
|
// No logging
|
|
|
|
// After
|
|
if(m_enable_debug)
|
|
{
|
|
Print("[TimeFilter] Time check - Day allowed: ", day_allowed,
|
|
", Session allowed: ", session_allowed,
|
|
", Result: ", (result ? "ALLOWED" : "BLOCKED"));
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 2. Detailed Session Information
|
|
```mql5
|
|
// Before
|
|
if(IsAsianSession(hour) && m_asian_enabled) return true;
|
|
|
|
// After
|
|
bool in_asian = IsAsianSession(hour);
|
|
bool in_europe = IsEuropeSession(hour);
|
|
bool in_america = IsAmericaSession(hour);
|
|
|
|
if(m_enable_debug)
|
|
{
|
|
Print("[TimeFilter] In Asian session (00-08): ", in_asian, " - Enabled: ", m_asian_enabled);
|
|
Print("[TimeFilter] In Europe session (07-16): ", in_europe, " - Enabled: ", m_europe_enabled);
|
|
Print("[TimeFilter] In America session (13-22): ", in_america, " - Enabled: ", m_america_enabled);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 3. Helper Methods
|
|
```mql5
|
|
// Get current time information
|
|
string day = g_time_filter.GetCurrentDayOfWeek(); // "Monday"
|
|
string session = g_time_filter.GetCurrentSession(); // "Europe"
|
|
string time = g_time_filter.GetCurrentGMTTime(); // "14:30:45 GMT"
|
|
```

|
## 💡 Notes
|
|
|
|
1. **Debug Mode**: Controlled by `EnableDebugPrints` input parameter
|
|
2. **Time Zone**: All times are in GMT
|
|
3. **Session Overlap**: Multiple sessions can be active simultaneously
|
|
4. **Logging Format**: Consistent `[TimeFilter]` prefix for easy filtering
|
|
5. **Helper Methods**: Useful for UI display and debugging

## 🔧 Usage Examples
|
|
|
|
### Basic Usage
|
|
```mql5
|
|
// Check if trading is allowed
|
|
if(g_time_filter.IsTimeAllowed())
|
|
{
|
|
// Execute trade
|
|
}
|
|
else
|
|
{
|
|
Print("Trading not allowed at this time");
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Get Time Information
|
|
```mql5
|
|
// Display current time info
|
|
Print("Current day: ", g_time_filter.GetCurrentDayOfWeek());
|
|
Print("Current session: ", g_time_filter.GetCurrentSession());
|
|
Print("Current time: ", g_time_filter.GetCurrentGMTTime());
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Debug Mode
|
|
```mql5
|
|
// Enable debug logging
|
|
g_time_filter.SetDebugMode(true);
|
|
|
|
// Check time (will log details)
|
|
bool allowed = g_time_filter.IsTimeAllowed();
|
|
```
