Strategy to only run during specific hours

[betsuni_123]

Hello.
I am using Strategy Builder to create my strategy.
I want to have my strategy omit certain times of the day, specifically between 7:39am and 1:00pm.
I found these instructions I am following: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...to_limit_t.htm
So I input this into the Strategy Builder. When I do a backtest using Strategy Analyzer, it is still showing trades being taken after 1:00pm.
Did I do something wrong? How to fix this?

Here is example to show the trade showing up after 1:00pm:

Hello betsuni_123,

Do you have multiple condition sets that submit orders?

Are these time conditions in all condition sets that submit orders?

What is the bar type an interval?

When using Calculate.OnBarClose, orders are submitted after the bar closes and will appear filled with the open of the next bar.
What is the next bar after 1:00 PM?
If you change the condition to less than 12:00 PM, does this correct the behavior? (An order submitted after the 12:00 PM bar closes would fill as the 1:00 PM on a 60 Minute chart opens)

Hi Chelsea,
I deleted this message because everything works now suddenly. I closed NT and reopened it, tried the Strategy Analyzer again and it now does not show trades past 1pm with my script. Thank you for your time either way.

Hello, I have imported the SampleTimeFilter_NT8, but how can I use it in my strategy? I can't find anything under "Conditions and Actions," not under the name "SampleTimeFilter" or "Times" as shown in the example.

Hello NViaene,

Welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!

The SampleTimeFilter from the help guide is an unlocked strategy that can be opened to view the code in the NinjaScript Editor (Control Center > New > NinjaScript Editor). On the right open the Strategies folder then double click SampleTimeFilter.

I can also provide examples of time condition strategies that open in the strategy builder linked below. Once imported, these can be selected from the Strategy drop-down on the Welcome page of the Strategy Builder.
