    Hi, I have a problem concerning the programming of an automatic trading system (I specify that I am a beginner …), namely: if I want the first operation of the day to have different conditions from the rules that I will then apply in the rest of the trading day, which instructions should I give to the trading system? Thank you for your understanding and any help you can give me.

    If above means first run of the code at day open then you could use (not code as we not sure yet).

    What Timeframe is your Chart running on and what time is day Open day close etc?

    If Time = 08000 (for example) then
    follow these conditions
    Endif

    If Time > 080000 AND Time < 210000 Then
    follow these conditions
    Endif

    There you go:

    ONCE FirstTime = 1
IF IntraDayBarIndex = 0 THEN
   FirstTime = 1
ENDIF
IF myConditions1 AND FirstTime THEN
   BUY 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET
   FirstTime = 0
ENDIF
IF myConditions2 AND Not FirstTime THEN
   BUY 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET
ENDIF
