Exit on the close of the candle

WhyAskOZ · 2024-03-03T10:17:14+00:00

HI All I am looking for simple code to exit the trade when weekly signal close? The strategy i am working on is using weekly signals which enters the trade if weekly candle from previous week closed above SMA5 and exit that trade at the end of the week (i.e. Friday close of market). so in the strategy how do i write the code to close the trade at the end of Friday ? Thanks in Advance.

This only works via MTF in a smaller time frame.
```
If onmarket and Time>=220000 and dayofweek=5 then 
Sell at market
Exitshort at market
ENDIF
```

Good morning. First you have to define the indicators in the weekly timeframe and then go down to a timeframe lower than the daily one so that it allows you to close before the market closes. For example, if you use a 1H timeframe then you can close the position on Friday at 21:00. It would be something like this:
```
defparam cumulateorders = false
timeframe (weekly)
sma5 = average[5](close)

timeframe(1h)
if close > sma5 and dayofweek=5 and time >210000 then
buy 10000 cash at market
endif

if onmarket and dayofweek=5 and time > 200000 and time < 220000 then
sell at market
endif

graphonprice sma5 coloured("red")
```

Hi!
Sorry… I wrote the code for Europe…
In Spain NYSE ends at 22:00, so that’s why I wrote 21:00. In Australia you should write the correct time.
You just need to change time and it will work.
