Hi everyone,

I’m today facing a problem I can’t explain… In order to set trading times with ProBuilder, I usually use this code which works for me:

// x is a value returned at the end

MyCondition = Time < 090000 AND Time > 190000
 
IF MyCondition THEN
 x = 0
ENDIF

Right here, I believe we’ll all agree, but in my code I can’t set these  “time preferences” (not before 090000 and not after 190000).  I can let it run during the night very easily (from 190000 to 090000), or if I set the values I want, then it seems to ignore them.. There’s a mistake somewhere and if anyone could help me it would be amazing!

Here’s my code “not caring” about my time preferences :

TradingTimes = 190000 < Time AND Time < 090000

// Allowing trading
IF VolatilityConditions THEN
allows = 1
ELSE
allows = 0
ENDIF

// Long loop
IF (x <> 0) AND (High < (x + 0.0012)) THEN
y = 0
ELSE
x = 0
ENDIF

// Short loop
IF (y <> 0) AND (Low > (y - 0.0012)) THEN
x = 0
ELSE
y = 0
ENDIF

IF TradingTimes THEN
x = 0
y = 0
ELSE
IF allows THEN

// Long opening
c1 = (pSAR[1] > High[1])
c2 = (High > pSAR[1])

IF c1 AND c2 THEN
x = pSAR[1]
ENDIF

// Short opening
c3 = (pSAR[1] < Low[1])
c4 = (Low < pSAR[1])

IF c3 AND c4 THEN
y = pSAR[1]
ENDIF
ENDIF
ENDIF

RETURN x, y

PS : I’m trying to build a strategy with this code as indicator, that’s why it might seem totally useless so far but I can’t start backtesting to improve it before fixing this time issue… (it’s obviously messing up all the startegy).

Thank you by advance for helping 🙂
