Hi!

I would like to code my system for a specific time. I want my system to only trade between 09300 – 2200 so for that i use:
```
DEFPARAM FLATBEFORE = 093000
DEFPARAM FLATAFTER = 220000
```
But i also want it to pause between 1400-1600 in the middle of the day and close positions if i have any open. How do i code this?

Thanks

With this code the open positions will close at those hours
```
NOTRADE = TIME>=140000 AND TIME<=160000

IF ONMARKET AND NOTRADE THEN
SELL AT MARKET
EXITSHORT AT MARKET
ENDIF
```
And for not starting any trade at those hours you need to add “AND NOT NOTRADE” at the conditions of your entries

```
IF OnMarket THEN
   IF Time >= 220000 OR (Time >= 140000 AND Time <= 160000) THEN //close open positions
      SELL      AT MARKET
      EXITSHORT AT MARKET
   ENDIF
ENDIF
TradeON = (time >= 093000 AND Time <= 220000) AND (Time < 140000 AND Time > 160000) //Only trade outside these time ranges
IF MyConditions AND Not OnMarket AND TradeON THEN
   BUY/SELLSHORT 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET
ENDIF
```
(not tested)
