Here is an example. This will close all open trades if a bar has a timestamp >=1600. It will use the Close of the bar prior to the cutoff time as the closing price

if((getHour()*100)+getMinute()>=1600){
        if(Strategy.isLong()==true){
            Strategy.doSell("Closeout Long(s)",Strategy.STOP,Strategy.THISBAR,Strategy.ALL,close(-1));
        }
        if(Strategy.isShort()==true){
            Strategy.doCover("Closeout Short(s)",Strategy.STOP,Strategy.THISBAR,Strategy.ALL,close(-1));
        }
    }

You may want to add another condition in case you do not have a bar with a time stamp >= [your time]. This could happen due to the Time Template used or on a short day or with thinly traded products.
Below is the revised condition which also checks for a change of date
Alex

if((getHour()*100)+getMinute()>=1600||getDay()!=getDay(-1)){
        if(Strategy.isLong()==true){
            Strategy.doSell("Closeout Long(s)",Strategy.STOP,Strategy.THISBAR,Strategy.ALL,close(-1));
        }
        if(Strategy.isShort()==true){
            Strategy.doCover("Closeout Short(s)",Strategy.STOP,Strategy.THISBAR,Strategy.ALL,close(-1));
        }
    }
