Opening a trade @ a specific time?

I am trying to see how to write a script (or use 1 already out there) for the days I am away. What I am looking for is a script that will put an OrderSend() at a specific time. I have already written the script to do the specific trade...just looking to put the order in the night before and not let it execute until a specific time the following day. Is there a way to do it using either my computer time (or preferably the online broker time) or would I have to use like a delay feature?

If anyone has a suggestion, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

A script only runs once when attached to a chart.
It can be done in an EA.
You would need input entries for the date and time to be safe.
Otherwise, it would enter a trade at the same time every day.
You should be able to modify a script and save it as an EA.
If not PM me and attach your existing script.
