DateTime comparison to fixed values

Suppose I only want my EL strategy to trade between two fixed times. In PST these times are 0630 and 1245. How do I compare the current time to these values?

My current code:

Inputs:
TimeBegin(630),
TimeEnd(1245);

if CurrentTime > TimeBegin and CurrentTime < TimeEnd then begin
{ trade logic here}
end
else begin
{no trading}
end;

Will this work or must I somehow convert CurrentTime to an integer? For BeginTime, must I specifiy it as 0630 rather that 630?

Please explain. Thanks.

westofpluto,

CurrentTime is your computers clock at this very moment, using the reserved word Time that gives you the time of the bar might be better suited for your purpose.
A conversion wouldn't be necessary and using 0630 or 630 should make no difference.
