Daily Time Frame

  If I have a script running on a daily time frame. Is there  a way of setting the start and end time of the day for the instrument just for a particular script without setting it as a default for the instrument as a whole (which is used for other strats using multiple timeframes)

  For this daily script I would like to set the daily time frame to start at X and end at Y.

  Any orders generated as a result of the script should be placed on the start of following day at X

  I’m sorry, but do you want your script trading from time to time or do you want to change the daily timeframe to start at X and end at Y?

  You can setup trading time into your code, but I don’t think that it is possible to restrain the daily timeframe.

  Or maybe I’m totally wrong with your request 🙂

  So it is not possible to only consider a time frame from 9:00 to 17:30 for DHigh(1), DLow(1), DClose(1) and DOpen(1)?

  It’s possible to change the time an instrument trades; I did it for DAX from 7 through 21 GMT (8-22 CET) and the candles in between are displayed as a GAP.

  But I cannot tell you what values DHigh(1), DLow(1), DClose(1) and DOpen(1) may return. You may wite a simple strategy and usze GRAPH to see what happens.
