  Hi

  Can anyone help me to make a trading system close all trades at 210000 on a Friday. I can use the defparam command to close at a set time each day but I don’t want a trade left open over the weekend I’m happy for trades to remain open overnight during the week?

  Hi Casper,

  Thanks Casper, I thought the following might work but opens and closes all trades on Friday for a loss of the spread on test so not right.

  indicator9 = dayofWeek =5 indicator10 = 210000 c7 = (indicator9 and indicator10) IF c2 and c6 OR c7 THEN SELL AT MARKET ENDIF

  1 2 3 4 5 6

  indicator9 = dayofWeek =5 indicator10 = 210000 c7 = (indicator9 and indicator10) IF c2 and c6 OR c7 THEN SELL AT MARKET ENDIF

  Be careful with use of combinations of “and” and “or”, you might want to use parenthesis to make sure the logic you really want is applied, for example : c2 and (c6 or c7) is not the same as (c2 and c6) or c7
