Dear guys,

I need support by encode a strategy based on the Dax (1h).

First of all I want to the check the outcome of each bar. That means an indicator to check each hour of the day.

The indicator:

Check the open and close of each bar (1h).

I want to see the performance of each hour of the day. Start from 8 am till 22.

Once we have the results we can try to build a strategy. See example attached. If we enter a position at 8 o’clock and exit at 12 o’clock to reach the best results.

As a filter we can use the Dfactor.

If we see that at certain time of the day the indices start to claim we can open a buy position.

I hope the explanation will be useful, otherwise feel free to ask.

Best regards, Giuseppe

There is an indicator in our library about the most active hours of the day, that you could analyze to take the trading decision: Most active hours of trading indicator

Thanks for pointing out that indicator Nicolas – I hadn’t spotted it in the library.

I notice though that the indicator calculates using HOUR and not OPENHOUR and so the results for say 16 are in fact the results for 1500 to 1600 and not the hour that starts at 1600

not really.

I have tried several times without success … 🙁

I want to see the inefficency of the day ….. I hope you understand what I mean.

Maybe the strategy can sounds like this:

If time = 1000 then buy this bar at close …

On a 1-hour TF:
```
DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = False
IF LongOnMarket THEN
   SELL AT MARKET
ENDIF
BUY 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET
graph STRATEGYPROFIT
graph Range
```
see attached pic.

I’m not sure that you are communicating what you want very clearly but then again my German is appalling!

Maybe this is the sort of idea you have. It is a version of my library indicator but it just totals up the balance of close minus open for every hour:
```
//Most Active Hours
//By Vonasi (thanks to throwaway200 for the idea)
//20181211

//defparam calculateonlastbars = 1000

IF openhour = 0 THEN

sorry …. not whta I mean.

Which time of the day will be profitable.

Let me explain:

Day 1 of the Month

Hour 1 = Calculate Open at 010000 – Close at 020000

Hour 2 = Calculate Open at 020000 – Close at 030000

and so on…….

Day 2 of the Month

Hour 1 = Calculate Open at 010000 – Close at 020000 (cumulate of Day 1)

I hope it will be better ….

Isn’t that just pure data mining? You would need a long forward test to see if it works as well in the future as just matching it to history does.

You would be better to check each hour if it is a long or short profitable hour and how long that will last in the indicator and then do the same thing. Maybe adding in only trading in very active hours. Maybe this is something for me to test tomorrow but I fear history by the hour will not necessarily repeat in the future.
