Is there any parameter that I can set to determine the regular trading hours for my algo, ie "Don't trade before this time and exit all positions at that time".

Currently I'm doing this manually like so

//Only enter trades during these hours
if (hour() >= 9 && minute() >= 0 && hour() <= 17 && minute() <= 29)
{
...
enterLong();
...
}

if (hour() >= 17 && minute() >= 30)
{
exitLong();
}

Hi Dalla

I haven't found a parameter so far. Like you I'm curious if there is one.

Similar to you I use an IF statement:


Does someone else have any ideas?

Hi,

@Veli: Your way is the same way i handle timeframes for trading.
