Open and close trades strictly based on time

  Hi,

  It’s shitforbrains here again, sorry for the noob question. I’ve looked around but have not found any code that would allow me to run a system that opens a long or short position strictly based on the time of day. For example “go long or short at 09:00 and close trade at 13:00 if neither limit or stop is hit”. It would also help a lot if I could define which weekdays the system is allowed to take trades.

  Any help?

  Regards,

  There you go:

  TradeON = (DayOfWeek >= 0 AND DayOfWeek <= 5) IF time = 090000 AND TradeON AND Not OnMarket THEN BUY 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET ENDIF IF TIME = 130000 AND OnMarket THEN SELL AT MARKET ENDIF

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7

  TradeON = (DayOfWeek >= 0 AND DayOfWeek <= 5) IF time = 090000  AND TradeON AND Not OnMarket THEN    BUY 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET ENDIF IF TIME = 130000 AND OnMarket THEN    SELL AT MARKET ENDIF

  For Short trades just replace BUY with SELLSHORT and SELL with EXITSHORT.
