How to set up different trading time intervals?

10-26-2022, 08:51 PM

For my current trading setup, I have a time interval when the trading is active. The way I am setting it is as follows

Code:

Times[Default input[0].TimeOfDay >= new TimeSpan(1, 0, 0) Times[Default input[0].TimeOfDay <= new TimeSpan(14, 0, 0)

This allows trading from 1 AM - 2 PM.

However, is there a way to set up active trading in 2 or 3 intervals? For example,

Trading Active: 1 AM - 4:59 AM
Trading Inactive: 5 AM - 6:59 AM
Trading Active: 7 AM - 2 PM

How can I do that?

Hi hasana1, thanks for posting. We have a full example of this demonstrated here:

Hello, I am building a strategy to use with the MACD indicator and am trying to have it turn on at specific times to place an order. For example, turn on the strategy from 1:30-2:00am and then reactivate at 3:00-3:30am etc. for multiple times throughout the day. I have built 5 separate strategies for the times I want, however

Kind regards,
-ChrisL
