Optimize a strategy on time of day

[space_trader]

hi,
I would like to optimize the time of day a strategy is going to run. In Strategy Builder I have created Time_in and a Time_out inputs (1) and I use these to values to set conditions for trading (2). What I would like to do is run Optimization Backtests with a varying Time_in and Time_out values but in Optimization menu I don't have that option (3).

Hello space_trader,

In the Strategy Builder you can optimize an integer and use this enable specific conditions sets with time filters.

In an unlocked strategy you can optimize the hour and minute.
