The mq4 documents have been updated. They are both in mt4. https://docs.mql4.com/convert/StrToTime and https://docs.mql4.com/convert/stringtotime

Yep, but still gives error code 4051 unless using full format ("yyyy.mm.dd hh:mi")

RaptorUK:'s workaround

datetime StrToday(string tod){ // "21:45"
  datetime now   = TimeCurrent();
  string   today = TimeToStr(now, TIME_DATE);
  return( StrToTime(today + " " + tod) );
}

Hi,

StrToTime() generates an error 4051 when just used with a time, for example StrToTime("17:35") if a date and time is used, example: StrToTime("2003.8.12 17:35") there is no error.

This can bee seen with the attached code, run it as an EA and change the input from TimeClose_ = "2003.8.12 21:45 21:45" to TimeClose_ = "21:45"

The help file shows this as an example so it should be valid . . . StrToTime("17:35"); // returns the current date with the given time

Please also note the Russian in the English help file (see below) : [in] Строка в формате "yyyy.mm.dd hh:mi ".
