I want to close out all my open positions before market close. I do not want to hold open postions over night. How do I do this? I am running my easyLanguage strategy. Thnx

SetExitOnClose; works for backtesting purposes but doesn't work in realtime. Realtime requires the code below. Replace 1450 with the appropriate time of your choosing while keeping in mind a missing bar will prevent exit if your choice doesn't allow enough time for that possibility.

if t>=1450 then begin
    sell next bar market;
    buytocover next bar market;
end;

Thx

I have tried time > 1450, does not work for back testing, because time will always be > 1450. I am currently using lastTickonchart but have not tested realtime,yet. Thnk TS can send trade that fast?

I have tried " time > 1450 ". Issue with back testing, time is > 1450. It worked with lastBarOnChart but i have not tried realtime.

I tried it but does not work back testing. Neither does lastbaronchart, realtime assumes lastbaronchart literally. Everytime a chart is opened, lastbaronchat is executed.
