  Kindly I need some help.
  I would like to prevent a position from closing at certain times.
  For example do not close a position from 01 to 06 in the morning.
  Thank you

  Well… if you have set some TP, the trade will be closed when it’s hit and you can’t help it.

  If you have conditions to exit a trade, then you can prevent it from being closed:

  // LONG entry If close crosses over average[20] and not OnMarket then Buy at market Endif // LONG exit If close crosses under average[20] and LongOnMarket and time >= 070000 and time < 220000 then Sell at market Endif

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

  // LONG entry If close crosses over average[20] and not OnMarket then    Buy at market Endif // LONG exit If close crosses under average[20] and LongOnMarket and time >= 070000 and time < 220000 then    Sell at market Endif

  So you can’t use TP conditions as below Roberto?

  If Time > 070000 and Time < 210000 Then Set target %profit 1 Endif

  1 2 3

  If Time > 070000 and Time < 210000 Then Set target %profit 1 Endif

  Yes, indeed it’s possible, 0 should disable it.
