How to make ProOrder only trade between set times

  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

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33

  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.
