I have this function in start...IT DOES NOT FIRE !!!
- Its on a EA, with all common EA properties clicked on !
- Tick action from chart occured during this time frame.

Why does it not send an email.

The OK Variable is there to make sure it ony sends an email once, and not on every tick !

void Start()
{
EmailAction();

}

void EmailAction()
{
int OK1 = 0;

// If local time is 4 pm and minute is 0 ( ie first 60 seconds of the hour) then send email.

if(TimeHour(TimeLocal()) == 16 && TimeMinute(TimeLocal()) ==0 && OK1 != 1)
{
SendMail( "TEST_Status_"+TimeToStr(TimeLocal(), TIME_DATE|TIME_MINUTES), "TEST" );
OK1 = 1;
}
else
OK1 = 0;

return(0);
}

Video interview with Rashid Umarov

The main conclusion is that it is insufficient to have a profitable strategy: it is necessary to strengthen its advantages and smooth its disadvantages. This is the point in money management: You should gain the largest profit from your approach, your Expert Advisor, your system with minimal risk and in maximal amounts, without being short of it. This is the most important thing, to my mind.

You need use endless looped script with while(). For example:

while(!IsStopped())
{
// operators
Sleep(1000);
}

See IsStopped
