  Hi I’m a beginner and I coded this from examples on the forum,  the strategy buys / shorts the inside bar breakout and closes next bar open.

  It seems to work properly on all timeframes except higher timeframe like my intended daily TF? Can anyone help,   I would also prefer to close before weekends.  Is it an issue with my time zone settings?

  edit : seemed to fix it by changing buy n share at high[1] stop and low[1],

  how can I close before the weekend?

  Defparam cumulateorders = false REM inside bar harami = high[0]<high[1] and low[0]>low[1] n=1 amplitude = high - low if harami THEN buy n share at high stop endif if harami then sellshort n share at low stop endif set stop loss amplitude IF BarIndex >= (TradeIndex ) THEN SELL AT MARKET EXITSHORT AT MARKET ENDIF

  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

  Defparam cumulateorders = false   REM inside bar   harami = high[0]<high[1] and low[0]>low[1] n=1   amplitude = high - low     if harami  THEN   buy n share at high stop   endif if harami  then sellshort n share at low stop endif set stop loss amplitude     IF BarIndex >= (TradeIndex ) THEN SELL      AT MARKET EXITSHORT AT MARKET ENDIF

  After some more research, it looks like the error is because of sunday candle.  I tried turn off display weekend data, but that doesnt fix it

  To close at 210000 on Friday, try …

  Timeframe (1 Hour, updateonclose) If Day = 5 and Time = 200000 Then Sell at Market ExitShort at Market Endif

  1 2 3 4 5

  Timeframe (1 Hour, updateonclose) If Day = 5 and Time = 200000 Then Sell at Market ExitShort at Market Endif
