Timefilter

[smk200]

i can not manage it to limit a time filter. I can set a starting point but the end point is not respected. Like in this basic expression:

// Set 1
if ((Times[0][0].TimeOfDay > new TimeSpan(17, 1, 0))
&& (GetCurrentAsk(0) > EMA1[0])
&& (Times[0][0].TimeOfDay < new TimeSpan(20, 0, 0)))
{
EnterLong(Convert.ToInt32(DefaultQuantity), "");
}


what am i doing wrong?

Hello smk200, thanks for your note.

I made a clone script that works. Please see attached. Could you test this on your end and compare it with your custom script?

I look forward to assisting.

Hello, thanks for your reply.

Could you let me know what instrument, bar type, and bar period you are using to test?

I look forward to hearing from you.

i tested several futures in various periods. bar type is probably candlestick

Hello smk200, thanks for your reply.

I am testing on a 1 minute ES 03-21 chart. Please add a Print statement to your script for debugging purposes. Printing the Times[0][0] value in your entry condition to print the time when the condition is true:

if ((Times[0][0].TimeOfDay > new TimeSpan(17, 1, 0))
&& (GetCurrentAsk(0) > EMA1[0])
&& (Times[0][0].TimeOfDay < new TimeSpan(20, 0, 0)))
{
Print(Times[0][0]);
EnterLong(Convert.ToInt32(DefaultQuantity), "");
}

The Print method can be found in the Misc folder in the actions. If you are seeing a time outside of the conditions printing I could take a look at your script if you Export it and post it here.

Another good addition to the condition will be a check for Position.MarketPosition = MarketPosition.Flat so the strategy is not entering when already long e.g.

I look forward to assisting.
