Using a time filter overnight with the strategy builder GUI?

[sclay115]

Hello sclay115,

What rockmanx00 said is correct, you would need two additional sets and conditions like the ones they posted checking your exit condition in addition to the position, then submit an exit order for that position.

Okay interesting.

Wouldn't this directly impact a position that was open that is after that time? i.e. If a position was entered at 7pm, and then the strategy follows the conditions as listed, wouldn't it automatically close the position as the resulting output would be a true statement?

Maybe it needs to be a secondary time filter?

Something like:

if Times[DefaultInput][0].TimeOfDay >= new TimeSpan (8,00)
if Times[DefaultInput][0].TimeOfDay < new TimeSpan (19,00)
and if Position.MarketPosition.Long
then ExitLong

Hello sclay115,

The condition you have there say from 8 to 19 which is 24 hour times, exit long is there is a long position. You would need to make the time condition for the time where you want the position closed.
