Week Day Check Boxes

[Clevchin]

Hi, Is there is a way in strategy builder to set it up so that when Im enabling the strategy that the week days will be there that I can check off what days I want the strategy to run? Thanks

Hello Clevchin,

You can use bool user inputs for that purpose. For example if you add a User Input named Monday and make it a bool that will give you a checkbox that says Monday in the user interface.

To control trading on different days of the week would require using 7 sets for this specific use. If we assume the conditions in set 1 should apply to Monday you could add a condition to check if the Monday bool is true which will allow that set to work if you checked the box.

To check a bool value as part of a condition you would use the following:
Left: User Input -> Monday
Center: Equals
Right: Misc -> True

You additionally need to add a Date condition so the condition only works on that day of the week, that is done with the following:
left: Time -> Date Series
Center: Equals
Right: Time -> Day of week -> Monday
