To disable trading during some days of the week:

1. Enable Custom schedule

2. Set the same Start and End time for days you want to disable

In this example, EA will not trade on Monday and on Friday:

Do not be confused by "disabled" start/end hour.
"Disabled" start/end hour means schedule is disabled for this day. So, EA will trade all the "disabled" day.

Hi Andrey! first of all thanks for explaining about disable trading on certain days of the week.
Sorry to bother you again, im in build scalping system for rules of trade only Tuesday - Thursday and time at 04.00 - 18.00.
for rules of day works well because your

explaination above, but for rules of times its didnt work.
the trade sometimes open out the rules of time such as 19.00 or 21.00 o'clock.
