Strategies action timeframe

  Hello guys.

  If I wanted to modify one or more strategies that are on this site by limiting the action timeframe (for example: only trading from Monday to Friday, from 08:30 to 12:00 and from 14:00 to 18:00), how should I proceed with the code?

  In other words, (i) is there a standard formula to use (copy and paste), and (ii) in which part of the code should I exactly paste this formula (at the end before the closing formula)?

  Thanks in advance.

  Edo

  There you go:

  ONCE startT = 000000 //Starting TIME ONCE endT = 240000 //Ending TIME TimeRef = OpenTime //replace with TIME if needed DayRef = OpenDayOfWeek //replace with DAYOFWEEK if needed // td0 = 0 AND DayRef = 0 AND TimeRef >= startT AND TimeRef <= endT //Sun td1 = 1 AND DayRef = 1 AND TimeRef >= startT AND TimeRef <= endT //Mon td2 = 1 AND DayRef = 2 AND TimeRef >= startT AND TimeRef <= endT //Tue td3 = 1 AND DayRef = 3 AND TimeRef >= startT AND TimeRef <= endT //Wed td4 = 1 AND DayRef = 4 AND TimeRef >= startT AND TimeRef <= endT //Thu td5 = 1 AND DayRef = 5 AND TimeRef >= startT AND TimeRef <= endT //Fri td6 = 0 AND DayRef = 6 AND TimeRef >= startT AND TimeRef <= endT //Sat tdCond = td0 OR td1 OR td2 OR td3 OR td4 OR td5 OR td6

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

  ONCE startT = 000000               //Starting TIME ONCE endT   = 240000               //Ending TIME TimeRef     = OpenTime             //replace with TIME if needed DayRef      = OpenDayOfWeek        //replace with DAYOFWEEK if needed // td0         = 0 AND DayRef = 0 AND TimeRef >= startT AND TimeRef <= endT //Sun td1         = 1 AND DayRef = 1 AND TimeRef >= startT AND TimeRef <= endT //Mon td2         = 1 AND DayRef = 2 AND TimeRef >= startT AND TimeRef <= endT //Tue td3         = 1 AND DayRef = 3 AND TimeRef >= startT AND TimeRef <= endT //Wed td4         = 1 AND DayRef = 4 AND TimeRef >= startT AND TimeRef <= endT //Thu td5         = 1 AND DayRef = 5 AND TimeRef >= startT AND TimeRef <= endT //Fri td6         = 0 AND DayRef = 6 AND TimeRef >= startT AND TimeRef <= endT //Sat tdCond      = td0 OR td1 OR td2 OR td3 OR td4 OR td5 OR td6

  Days are identified from 0 (Sunday) through 6 (Saturday), to disable, say WEDNESDAY, set td3 = 0.

  Add tdCond to your entry conditions.
