Strategy- Stuck on this

[plemal]

I am trying to create a strategy to execute a buy when the 15' bar close = open at the bar close during the 3-3:45 am hours and I don't see an option for buy if the 15' bar does _______.

I'll keep digging but am confused...

Thanks for any help

Hello,

Thanks for the note.

Please see this sample on time filters. You can use this same procedure for what your trying to do.

How to create time comparisons

Also, what I would do if I was setting this up is but a time filter for the time and price close I'm interested in and then store this price in a variable.

In the Do The Following Section Set a USer Defined Variable to the Close[0] price.

Then setup another time filter for anytime after the set variable time to then start looking to trade.

Then check to see if the price is greater then or less then this variable and then decide to go long or short.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

So I assume that when I create this time series that I put for example "at 3:15 AM the bar open = bar close" then do that for the next bar etc.?

Thanks!

Hello,

Yes. However you would need to store a variable with this price at 3:15AM in one set and then call on that cariable and do your comparison from there.
