  Hi Guys n Gals

  Just a quick check on logic here as the code below is opening trades on weekends Sunday evening, which I would rather avoid due to spreads. Should I remove the “and not”? I did send a query on it to PRT via help with no reply yet.

  Daysforbidden entries

  DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = false daysForbiddenEntry = OpenDayOfWeek = 6 OR OpenDayOfWeek = 0//dont trade Saturday and Sunday IF not onmarket and c1 AND not daysForbiddenEntry and result1 <1 And indicator7>=25 THEN BUY myamount PERPOINT AT MARKET ENDIF

  1 2 3 4 5 6

  DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = false daysForbiddenEntry = OpenDayOfWeek = 6 OR OpenDayOfWeek = 0//dont trade Saturday and Sunday   IF not onmarket and c1 AND not daysForbiddenEntry and result1 <1 And indicator7>=25 THEN BUY myamount PERPOINT AT MARKET ENDIF

  You don’t say what time frame you are running the strategy on. The code will allow trades to open from midnight at the end of Sunday. If you are on a daily chart then as all decisions are made at the close of a candle then this is what will happen. If you are on a faster time frame and want trades to open only after a specific hour on Monday then you have to tell your strategy that this is what you want.

  This will let you select days and different times each day, overnight or not https://www.prorealcode.com/topic/time-and-day-conditions/.

  OK thanks. All my strategies run on 7hrs or 4hrs currently, also 9hrs previously. I assumed as it was from the inbuilt program coding that it wouldnt trade on Sat / Sunday. I can see a need ot code it in though, so will take  alook at the code Robert  refers to and try out…

  Cheers. Yes I now recall I’ve seen that somewhere in code here on the forum. I can see a need to code it in, but assumed it should work if from the simple programming code. I’ll take a look at that and see how it does. Thanks… It will be a stock paste into all code for weekend.. 🙂

  Maybe it would if you used CurrentDayOfWeek (not opendayofweek)?

  I did think it might be related to timezone, I think it may have been the Dax, but that’s the same timezone as me which is London. I’ll see how the code fairs..

  Thanks GraHal

  Yes that actually makes sense, though bearing in mind timezone for the instrument. May be worth a try if I just want to blanket Sat/Sunday easily

  days of week

  donttrademe = currentdayofweek=0 or currentdayofweek=6 If not onmarket and myconditions and not donttrademe then .. Endif or if it still doesnt do maybe try trademe = currentdayofweek=1 or currentdayofweek=2 or currentdayofweek=3 or currentdayofweek=4 or currentdayofweek=5 If not onmarket and myconditions and trademe then .. Endif

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

  donttrademe = currentdayofweek=0 or currentdayofweek=6 If not onmarket and myconditions and not donttrademe then .. Endif   or if it still doesnt do maybe try trademe = currentdayofweek=1 or currentdayofweek=2 or currentdayofweek=3 or currentdayofweek=4 or currentdayofweek=5 If not onmarket and myconditions and trademe then .. Endif
