    why don't I get an entry?

    I am researching pivots and I created a simple strategy that checks at 1am if close[0] is < or > the Daily pivot PP. If it is above daily pp pivot then EnterLongLimit @ the daily pp pivot level. If it is below daily pp then EnterShortLimit @ the daily pp.

    I do not get any error in the log and there are no entries placed even though I can visually see where the entry should be based on my rules. I have included an image showing what I'm wanting and the code is:

    Code:
    if (ToTime(Time[0]) > start && ToTime(Time[0]) < (start + end))
    {                    
        if(Close[0] > Pivots(PivotRange.Daily, HLCCalculationMode.CalcFromIntradayData,0,0,0,20).PP[0])
        {                        
            EnterLongLimit(shares, Pivots(PivotRange.Daily, HLCCalculationMode.CalcFromIntradayData,0,0,0,20).PP[0], "E1");
            SetProfitTarget("E1", CalculationMode.Price, Pivots(PivotRange.Daily,HLCCalculationMode.CalcFromIntradayData,0,0,0,20).R1[0]);
        }
    }
    
    if (ToTime(Time[0]) > start && ToTime(Time[0]) < (start + end))
    {        
        if(Close[0] < Pivots(PivotRange.Daily, HLCCalculationMode.CalcFromIntradayData,0,0,0,20).PP[0])
        {                        
            EnterShortLimit(shares, Pivots(PivotRange.Daily, HLCCalculationMode.CalcFromIntradayData,0,0,0,20).PP[0], "E1");
            SetProfitTarget("E1", CalculationMode.Price, Pivots(PivotRange.Daily,HLCCalculationMode.CalcFromIntradayData,0,0,0,20).S1[0]);
        }
    }
    Any thoughts on why I am not getting any entries?

    My start time is 10000 which is1am and my ending time I have changed multiple times to test why this isn't working and I have set the ending time from 31000 - 61000 so I don't believe it has anything to do with my time filter - but I don't really know for sure.
