Enter long position at 6:00PM

[ckabjp]

So I'm trying to get a strategy that will do something simple, which is enter a long position at 6:00PM every day.

I've backtest this code on Playback and it doesn't seem to enter a position at 6:00PM for some reason. Advice would be welcome.

Here is the code (which goes long 4 contracts):
