Hi, iv been having some problems with trade time, some of my algos trade even when they shouldent.
iv tried these 2 diffrent ways but in some algos they work and some dont
// Prevents the system from creating new orders to enter the market or increase position size before the specified time
noEntryBeforeTime = 090000
timeEnterBefore = time >= noEntryBeforeTime
// Prevents the system from placing new orders to enter the market or increase position size after the specified time
noEntryAfterTime = 1730000
timeEnterAfter = time < noEntryAfterTime
// Prevents the system from placing new orders on specified days of the week
daysForbiddenEntry = OpenDayOfWeek = 6 OR OpenDayOfWeek = 0
// Conditions to enter long positions
Ctime = time >=090000 and time <1730000
with the condition on selling and buying aswell.
been stairing at my code for a week now but cant find the problem.
i also have a problem with a stoploss i found on this site, the problem is that it moves upp and down, not a fan of the down part

hope anyone can point me in the right direction cus im lost.
