strategy wizard - set trading times

[tdrogersnt]

How do I utilize the strategy wizard to make this happen?

if (
(ToTime(Time[0]) > ToTime(9, 45, 0) && ToTime(Time[0]) < ToTime(12, 30, 0)) || (ToTime(Time[0]) > ToTime(14, 30, 0) && ToTime(Time[0]) < ToTime(16, 15, 0))
&& whatever else conditions
)

Hello tdrogersnt,

Thank you for your post.

'||' (or) conditions are not possible within the same set. You must place these in a different set in the Strategy Wizard. All conditions built in one set of the Strategy Wizard Conditions and Actions tab are set with '&&' (and).

As these conditions are split by the '||' operator please refer to the two screenshots of these conditions in two sets.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks. I actually tried that but didn't split into separate sets. I appreciate your help.

Hi there,

The solution above works for me on one hour bars (60 mins), but not on the 4 hour. (240 mins). For some reason I keep seeing deals in the backtest that should not have been done. Hope you can assist?
Thx,

Hello Patrick,

Thx for your prompt reply.
I am trying to build a strategy on a 4Hour bar that works during certain hours.
Assume from 6 am to 20pm.

Here's what I have, and what works on one hour strategies:

if(_position ==0 && ToTime(Time[0]) > ToTime(6, 00, 0) && ToTime(Time[0]) < ToTime(20, 00, 0))
As seen in this forum somewhere....

Regards,

Hello Strooizout,

Thank you for your response.

Can you provide a screenshot of the trades on the backtest that should not have been made?

What instrument are you testing? What Session Template are you using?

[Strooizout]

Morning Patrick.

I test GBP USD
In the attached screenshot you can see the outcome of a test on the 240 min period.
Time set is ToTime(Time[0]) > ToTime(8, 00, 00) && ToTime(Time[0]) < ToTime(18, 00, 0)

As you can see it trades from 16 to 20 hours, with even an occasional 15 o'clock trade.
The session template is the "default 24/7" based on UTC -5 Eastern time.

Thx,
regards
