  Hi colleagues,

  One simple questions: I am operating in 4h candles and I want to open and close operations at the beginning and the end of the bar, regardless the outcome. I think I know the answer but I see ackward results in the backtest.

  Example: 090000 bar.

  IF time=090000 AND my conditions THEN

  BUY 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET

  ENDIF

  Now, to close this operation at the CLOSE of the candle (4 hour), shall I refer to 125900 or 130000???

  IF time=XXXXXX THEN

  SELL AT MARKET

  ENDIF

  Thanks,

  Juan

  Time refer to the Close of the bar. Code is only read once at Close. You can also use OpenTime which is the time of the bar where the code is read.
