GRAPH and GRAPHONPRICE can only be used when backtesting your strategy for debugging purposes, not when running it with ProOrder.
You have to remove the lines with GRAPH and GRAPHONPRICE or, my preferred choice, start the lines where they are with a double slash “//” which is used for comments, this making ProOrder ignore them.

Hours are set according to the lines 83-107 (see attached pic).
The system is base on Utc+1 DST (so, now it’s UTC+2). Computing the difference is easy, since yoy have to add just 6 to any of the lines and set it to 1 to disable trading at that hour 0 to enable it.
If the first trading hour is now OpenH9 (09:00 am) then you’ll have to set it to 1 and clear OpenH15. If the last trading hour is OpenH19, then you’ll have to leave it as it is now, since it’s within your range, then clear OpenH1 (19 + 6 = 25, which is 01:00 am).
So, if in EU we trade from 09:00 to 19:00 (eleven trading hours), you will trade from 15:00 to 25:00 (that is 01:00) which is still eleven trading hours.
Actually line 12 could be removed and in line 13, TRADEBAR could be (almost) safely replaced by BARCOUNT.
At the inception of MTF I was not sure that BARCOUNT (the counter of 1-hour bars) could have been accessed correctly from a lower TF (say 1 or 5-minute), so I added TRADEBAR which was defined in the lower TF to be sure.
But it seems BARCOUNT, which is the current number of the 1h bar, can be accessed from both TF’s, still indexing it for prior bars has different meanings:
- in 1-hour TF BARCOUNT[1] refers to the number of the previous hour
- in 1-minute TF BARCOUNT[1] refers to the number of the hour retained in the previous 1-minute bar
As I don’t like this behaviour, because I think BARCOUNT[1] shouldn’t return two different values depending on which TF it is referred to, but the value retained in the TF where it is defined, I keep using this code in all my strategies.
If you GRAPH BARCOUNT in the 1-hour TF it will show different data than when GRAPHed in the 1-minute TF.

No, I am not running it.
I code 2-3 strategies per week, so with a limit of 25 I can only keep them running for a few weeks.
I have an additional demo account to my daughter’s name, but after a couple of years IG decided to disable access to PRT, so I can’t run too many.

Sorry, I can’t remember.
