I'm stuck with a simple function to return true a function ( Asia) if time is between 8 pm and 1 am ( Asia session).

Try rephrasing your problem: returning false when the time is after 1 am but before 8 pm. Then it's relatively easy to see the answer:

Code

if (Time_s > 1000) and (Time_s < 20000) then 
	false
else
	true;

Or a more complex solution (untested):

Code

Variables:
	eightPM(ELTimeToDateTime(2000)),
	oneAM(ELTimeToDateTime(100)),
	timeNow(0);
	
timeNow = ELTimeToDateTime_s(Time_s); 	// or CurrentTime_s with RecalcLastBarAfter if instrument is slow

if (timeNow >= eightPM) and (timeNow <= oneAM) then
	true
else
	false;

Or did I misunderstand you?

Solution was so simple that I'm shy

Code

// Return true if asia session is on

If time_S >= 200000 or time_S <= 10000 then 
Asia = True
else
Asia = False;

I was looking for a solution that include two date since the laps time was having both legs on two day. User TJ on MC forum provided me the solution. I have Thousands of codes line written and I was stuck with this one
