how to express a fixed time?

[hl685]

Dear Support Team,
Say, I want to long at 1:30pm and exist at 1:45pm. How to express this strategy?

hl685,

What you can do is check the timestamps of the bars. When the timestamp of the bar is of the time you want to exit, then place in your exit.

Untested code to give you an idea.

if (ToTime(Time[0]) == 133000)
     EnterLong();
else if (ToTime(Time[0]) == 134500)
     ExitLong();

Thanks! Could you also let me know how to get the price at a certain time, say, it's 1:30pm now, I need the price for 1:15pm, or just 15 minutes agao?

If you are using 1 min charts you can just use Close[15] to go back to the time you want.

Otherwise you will need to use GetBar() to determine what [] index value you should pass in to get the bar you want.
