Close Position at End of Day

[pmkedi]

Hello,

I want to enter positions at 8:30 and close all positions at 15:45, any help with testing for the time in my backtest efs?

Thank you,

You could do it as in the example below (note that there may be other and better ways to accomplish this)
Alex

var Trade = 1;

if(getHour()*100)+getMinute() >= 830 && (getHour()*100)+getMinute() < 1545)){
Trade = 1;
}else{
Trade = 0;
}

if(Trade == 1 && Strategy.isLong() == false && <your conditions>){
<your strategy commands>
}

if(Trade==0){
    if(Strategy.isLong()==true){
        Strategy.doSell("Closeout Long",Strategy.LIMIT,Strategy.THISBAR,Strategy.ALL,close(-1));
    }
    if(Strategy.isShort()==true){
        Strategy.doCover("Closeout Short",Strategy.LIMIT,Strategy.THISBAR,Strategy.ALL,close(-1));
    }
}
