if(ToTime(Time[0]) == 22000) not never true

[GKonheiser]

Hi,

Im using if(ToTime(Time[0]) == 22000) on 5 min bars to check for the end of day and then cancel any orders but for some reason it never gets processed, ie never true, does any one know why this is ?

Hi GKonheiser,

Thank you for your post.

Are you running the script with CalculateOnBarClose set to True or False?

Is the 220000 the end of the session time for the instrument that you are using?

[GKonheiser]

yup, CalculateOnBarClose is set to true and 22000 is the end of session.

The time that you have specified is 2:20 AM local time in the morning. Is that what you intended?

GKonheiser,

Additionally, with the COBC set to true you would have to wait til the end of the 22000 bar to close before it will be process and calculated. This comes to the issue that the last tick of the bar is the first tick of the next bar. Since. this is the session close that bar will not be officially closed til the open of the next day.

Ah Ok thats a problem, what is the best method then to cancel all orders at the end of the day then?

Hi, no that's not what I wanted, I thought that would be 10PM, what is 10PM then?

GKonheiser,

You need to add an 0 at the end of that time you are testing.
The format for that is HHMMSS
This is also held on a 24 hour clock system
10pm would be 220000

Additionally. if you are going to the end of the session you can use ExitOnClose to cancel all strategy generated orders and open positions.
