Trades only 8 am – 3 pm

Hello, I would like to go long only at certain times eg 8am – 3 pm. Optional 5-9 clock.
It does not work in the backtest. The orders are opened only in the time from 8 am to about 10 am.
What could it be? Here my example:

Best regards

Hello,

please zip all the files into a ZIP archive and try to re-attach

Hello, once again…

Hello,

the condition needs to be modified slightly. Check the file attached

Hello, great !!!  thank you

and if i like trade 8 – 15 and 16.30 – 22  ?

i try this without minutes:
And ((Hour[0] >= 8)
And ((Hour[0] <= 15)
And ((Hour[0] >= 16)
And (Hour[0] <= 22)

its not working, no trade will be open.

Close all positions at 21.55 sounds good. How can i do this?

regards

I think the condition will never happen and parenthesis is wrong.

Try it with

((Hour[0] >= 8) AND (Hour[0] <= 15))
OR ((Hour[0] >= 16) AND (Hour[0] <= 22))

Conmariin 🙂

Hello,

yes Conmariin is correct on this. You need to use the OR operator so market is either in range from 8 to 15 OR from 16 to 22

Hello,
that sounds good, but where can I find the OR operator? Whenever I create a rule, it is always AND operator at the beginning of each line.

Hello,

click on the “and” and select “or” instead 😉

Hello, oh thanks, I had not discovered that

Hello, something is wrong…

Hello,

you need to use parentheses as Conmariin showed higher.

((Hour[0] >= 8 AND Hour[0] <= 15)
OR (Hour[0] >= 16 AND Hour[0] <= 22))

So you enclose “ANDs” together. If you need me to edit the project for you please send to [email protected] or upload ZIP file
