Monday to Friday code

[moon_121]

I try to code a strategy for backtesting, that works only from Monday 6 am til Friday 8 pm.
It seems to have trouble to re-enter the market on Mondays. Could you please check the code in my sample strategy.

/// <summary>
        /// Called on each bar update event (incoming tick)
        /// </summary>
        protected override void OnBarUpdate()
            
            
        {
            {
            if (Time[0].DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Monday && ToTime(Time[0]) >= 060000)
            
                
                {
                    // Condition set 1
                    if (SMA(Close, Fast)[0] > SMA(Close, Slow)[0])
                    {
                        EnterLong(DefaultQuantity, "");
                    }

                    // Condition set 2
                    if (SMA(Close, Fast)[0] < SMA(Close, Slow)[0])
                    {
                        EnterShort(DefaultQuantity, "");
                    }
                }
            }
            if (Time[0].DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Friday && ToTime(Time[0]) >= 200000)
            {
                ExitLong();
                ExitShort();
            }
        }

        #region Properties
        [Description("")]
        [GridCategory("Parameters")]
        public int Fast
        {
            get { return fast; }
            set { fast = Math.Max(1, value); }
        }

        [Description("")]
        [GridCategory("Parameters")]
        public int Slow
        {
            get { return slow; }
            set { slow = Math.Max(1, value); }
        }
        #endregion

Hello moon_121,

Beside an extra set of curly braces "{}" there is nothing wrong with your code.

/// <summary>
        /// Called on each bar update event (incoming tick)
        /// </summary>
        protected override void OnBarUpdate()
            
            
        {
            [B][I][U][COLOR="Magenta"]{[/COLOR][/U][/I][/B]
            if (Time[0].DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Monday && ToTime(Time[0]) >= 060000)
            
                
                {
                    // Condition set 1
                    if (SMA(Close, Fast)[0] > SMA(Close, Slow)[0])
                    {
                        EnterLong(DefaultQuantity, "");
                    }

                    // Condition set 2
                    if (SMA(Close, Fast)[0] < SMA(Close, Slow)[0])
                    {
                        EnterShort(DefaultQuantity, "");
                    }
                }
            [B][I][U][COLOR="Magenta"]}[/COLOR][/U][/I][/B]
            if (Time[0].DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Friday && ToTime(Time[0]) >= 200000)
            {
                ExitLong();
                ExitShort();
            }
        }

With the code that you have above though will only enter a trade on Monday and Exit on Friday. If you would like it to enter a trade on other days besides just Monday you would want to define them inside the Condition. For Example:

if (Time[0].DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Monday || Time[0].DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Tuesday || Time[0].DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Wednesday || Time[0].DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Thursday && ToTime(Time[0]) >= 060000)

Let us know if we can be of further assistance.
