Hi all,

I’ve got a trading strategy which opens a trade daily on the spot Gold (E1 contract) daily graph. Every day the trade opens at 01:00 hours. Now, I want to open at an earlier stage, for example at 00:01 hours. Is this possible on the daily chart and if so, how would I put this in the code?
Thanks in advance!

So your strategy is not trading on a daily timeframe actually? Otherwise how do you send an order at 01:00?

If you want to operate on a daily timeframe, your trading condition will be tested at Close and orders will be launched at next bar open, so at 00:00 (or at 23:00 on Sunday).

Yes, I’m trading on a daily timeframe. The positions are opened at 01:00 hours. But I want them to open at 00:00 hours. How can I fix this?

Found it, didn’t see there was a special commodity time setting. Problem solved 🙂
