strategy authority structure

[Paladin22]

Hello,

I have a developed strategy that has a time filter for continued back-testing, i need to keep the time filter. however under no circumstances do I want trades during the 08:30 est announcements . is there a why to configure a strategy with just a time filter to override the other configured strategies?

Also need to ask, the code for the current time filter isn't going to work, can someone point me in the direction of examples of how to code for two separate time sections ? I.e. 1800 thru 0815 next day and then 0845 thru 1530 or would I need to put as three 00:00 thru 0815, 0845 thru 1530, and 1800 thru 2359?

Thanks in advance

Hello Paladin22,

Thank you for your post.

There is not a way to configure a strategy that contains only a time filter that could be used to override other strategies. Time filter logic will have to be programmed in each individual strategy.

Instead, you could create a time filter that checks if the time is 0000 - 0815, or 08:45 - 15:30, or 18:00 - 23:59 and enters a position. The time filter would look something like this:

if ((ToTime(Time[0]) >= 180000 && ToTime(Time[0]) < 81500) || (ToTime(Time[0]) >= 84500 && ToTime(Time[0]) < 153000) || (ToTime(Time[0]) >= 180000 && ToTime(Time[0]) < 235900))
{
// Entry Signal: If current close greater than previous close, enter long
if (Close[0] > Close[1])
EnterLong();
}
