Close transaction at specific time

  Hi all,

  I am trying to code a autotrader that enters into a long position in Hong Kong 50 between certain times and which closes the transaction at a specific time.

  the enter long command wouldn’t work when putting down the IF statement in the following form ‘CurrentTime >= 10400 AND CurrentTime <= 030000 THAN (…)’.

  I therefore devised a trade counter that would make the code only execute a single trade.

  The entering into a trade seems to work, I now can’t get the closing of the trade to work, can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

  I am also trying to have the trade not attempt a close on saturday and sunday.

  maxorders=1 daysForbiddenClose = DayOfWeek = 6 OR DayOfWeek = 7 if intradaybarindex=0 then count = 0 endif IF NOT LongOnMarket AND CurrentTime >= 104000 AND count<maxorders THEN BUY 1 CONTRACTS AT MARKET ENDIF // Conditions to exit long positions If CurrentTime = 031500 AND not daysForbiddenClose THEN Sell at Market ENDIF //counting orders if onmarket and lastindex<>tradeindex then count=count+1 lastindex=tradeindex endif

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

  maxorders=1 daysForbiddenClose = DayOfWeek = 6 OR DayOfWeek = 7 if intradaybarindex=0 then count = 0 endif   IF NOT LongOnMarket AND CurrentTime >= 104000 AND count<maxorders THEN BUY 1 CONTRACTS AT MARKET ENDIF   // Conditions to exit long positions If CurrentTime = 031500 AND not daysForbiddenClose THEN Sell at Market ENDIF   //counting orders if onmarket and lastindex<>tradeindex then count=count+1 lastindex=tradeindex endif

  Regarding your question you will need to clarify what time frame you are working in.

  A candle with the time 031500 will only be present in certain time frames. For example there is no 031500 candle in the 1 hour time – only 030000 and 040000.
