Continues only if last (bid) candle period equals defaultPeriod and instrument equals defaultInstrument. Calculates day of week and continues only if it is not equal to 1 (Sunday) and 7 (Saturday). Calculates spread and continues only if spread is lower or equal than maxSpread. Updates currentDay and currentHour variables. Continues if currentHour is equal to entryHour1 and currentDay is not equal to day1. Also continues if currentHour is equal to entryHour2 and currentDay is not equal to day2. Closes open position, if there is one. Calculates amount: amount = min(Equity/20000.0, defaultTradeAmount). Calculates ema0 (EMA(maPeriod) for two days back) and ema1 (EMA(maPeriod) for one day back). If ema0 is lower than or equal to ema1 then opens long position with defaultInstrument, amount, defaultSlippage, defaultStopLoss, defaultTakeProfit. If ema0 is greater than ema1 then opens short position with defaultInstrument, amount, defaultSlippage, defaultStopLoss, defaultTakeProfit. Continues only if order submit was ok. If currentHour equals entryHour1 it sets day1 variable to value of currentDay and returns. If currentHour equals entryHour2 it sets day2 variable to value of currentDay and returns.
