Trading During the DAY Session

Recommended Posts

Trading between 8AM and 4 PM

 

I want to have the chart set to Regular Sessions so that the chart is updated all day. But i want my trades to be triggered from 8AM to 4 PM.

 

I tried the following code and it didn't work:

if ( Time >= 0800 ) And ( Time <= 1600 ) then

 

I even tried the following and it didn't seem to work.

if time >= SessionStartTime( 0, 1 ) and time < SessionEndTime( 0, 1 ) then

 

Any help could be of immense thing to my learning experience...

What you have done with your first example code should work. There is no need for the parentheses.

 

So the following works fine:

 

If t>=0800 and t<=1600 and c crosses over average(c,50) then
buy this bar;

Setexitonclose;

 

Try running this code and see if it works for you. Then change the necessary conditions for entry and refine your exit.

 

Let me know how you get on.

BlueHorseShoe,

Thanks for the reply.

 

i used the following script:

If t>=0800 and t<=1600 then

 

I am based in Southern California, PST and its 3 hours behind the EST (New York time). So which time is the logic using. I see the trades being activated based on the PST (If t>=0800 and t<=1600). Can u please suggest.
