You will see the Trading Session settings. After exporting the EA again, it will have the time set there.

// Session time is set in seconds from 00:00
int sessionSundayOpen           = 7777001;
int sessionSundayClose          = 7777002;
int sessionMondayThursdayOpen   = 7777003;
int sessionMondayThursdayClose  = 7777004;
int sessionFridayOpen           = 7777005;
int sessionFridayClose          = 7777006;
bool sessionIgnoreSunday        = 7777007;
bool sessionCloseAtSessionClose = 7777008;
bool sessionCloseAtFridayClose  = 7777009;

But I'm not sure what to do with these.

In my currently running EA Studio when I look under Tools / Settings it only shows Account Info.  There is nothing about 'Trading Session'.

In the same account I have two other Portfolio EAs running and they are doing fine.  The other two were created a few weeks ago and their OnBar() does not include a call to IsOutOfSession().  Only the new Portfolio EA (that I created a few days ago) checks for IsOutOfSession() and it is the only EA that doesn't trade.

I added a few Print statements to the code and it appears that IsOutOfSession() always returns 'true'.  IsOutOfSession() checks for 'weekDay' and then sets 'skipTrade' to true or false.  In my case it appears to always get set to 'true'.

   else if(weekDay<5)
     {
      int lastBarFix=sessionCloseAtSessionClose ? periodLength : 0;
      skipTrade=timeFromMidnight<sessionMondayThursdayOpen || timeFromMidnight+lastBarFix>sessionMondayThursdayClose;
     }

When IsOutOfSession() returns 'true' then it immediately returns from OnBar() and trading will never occur. 

Is this a bug or do I have some setting that is wrong.  Thanks...
