It's a very simple concept. The following code will increase the variable counter by one every new hour. static int counter; static datetime hour; if(hour!=iTime(NULL, PERIOD_H1,0)) {counter++; hour=iTime(NULL, PERIOD_H1,0);}

You can using Timer: int count = 0; int OnInit() { EventSetTimer(60); //every 60s return(INIT_SUCCEEDED); } void OnTimer() { count++; }
