How to make ProOrder only trade between set times

jbyrne · 2018-01-11T08:02:43+00:00

Hi, quick question, how can I get my code to only trade between certain hours of the day? I’d like my system to start trading at 9am then stop at 15pm. I have tried to use the ‘CurrentTime’ example listed in the ProRealTime Documentation but when I copy paste the code into my code it doesn’t work, I get a red line under ‘Return’. Here’s my code; defparam CUMULATEORDERS = false IF (CurrentTime = 090000) THEN WakeUp = 1 ELSE WakeUp = 0 ENDIF RETURN WakeUp EMA25 = ExponentialAverage[45](close) EMA50 = ExponentialAverage[200](close) cBuy = (EMA25 crosses over EMA50) cSell = (EMA25 CROSSES under EMA50) Percentage = 7 Bull = close > (DClose(1) * (1 + (Percentage/100))) Bear = close < (DClose(1) * (1 - (Percentage/100))) IF Bull and cBuy THEN BUY 1 Contract AT Market ENDIF IF Bear and cSell THEN SELLSHORT 1 Contract AT Market ENDIF set target %profit 3 set stop %loss 0.75 Thanks in advance

Hi, quick question, how can I get my code to only trade between certain hours of the day? I’d like my system to start trading at 9am then stop at 15pm. I have tried to use the ‘CurrentTime’ example listed in the ProRealTime Documentation but when I copy paste the code into my code it doesn’t work, I get a red line under ‘Return’.

Here’s my code;
```
defparam CUMULATEORDERS = false

IF (CurrentTime = 090000) THEN
WakeUp = 1
ELSE
WakeUp = 0
ENDIF

RETURN WakeUp

EMA25 = ExponentialAverage[45](close)
EMA50 = ExponentialAverage[200](close)

cBuy = (EMA25 crosses over EMA50)
cSell = (EMA25 CROSSES under EMA50)



Percentage = 7

Bull = close > (DClose(1) * (1 + (Percentage/100)))
Bear = close < (DClose(1) * (1 - (Percentage/100)))
 
IF Bull and cBuy THEN
BUY 1 Contract AT Market
ENDIF
 
IF Bear and cSell THEN
SELLSHORT 1 Contract AT Market
ENDIF

set target %profit 3
set stop %loss 0.75
```
Thanks in advance

You don’t need Return and you are not using WakeUp in your code?

Try this

Hi, Thanks for the help but I figured it out.

I’ll delete this post now to avoid any confusion.
