Condition Builder :Time

[waza1960]

Could somebody please explain why the following condition does not stop trading for this period i.e. I don't want any trades to trigger on a one hour chart for the hour listed.
&& ToTime(Time[0]) != ToTime(3, 0, 0)

waza1960, are you expected the strategy to exit as this time condition evaluates to true, or just don't trigger new signals? With your condition in place, trades would be held during that period still as you do not have a time exit coded up with this.

Yes with this condition in place I Just want no trades to trigger ,it seems to work a little but inconsistantly .Is it related to when bars are drawn ( start of hour/end of hour)?

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

It would just refer to the timestamp of your hourly bar - NinjaTrader would use the end of bar time to stamp it, perhaps you would need to check for a longer time range (more than 1 bar) in your strategy?

I will look into that thanks for the help.
