help with new time settings

       

Hi, 

I'm using the following (below) to backtest so I get the eastern standard time (NYC) session start to finish 

but it doesn't work for live forward testing... it doesn't start the robot till I make activeTime = startTime.AddHours(0);

 

does this have to do with the new time settings?

Is there and easier way to do what I'm trying to do?

 

currently my broker shows UTC+3 and my local gui offset is set to UTC-4

 

here's my code:

 

private DateTime startTime;
        private DateTime activeTime;
        private DateTime stopTime;

 

protected override void OnStart()
        {

            startTime = Server.Time.Date;
            activeTime = startTime.AddHours(21);
            stopTime = startTime.AddHours(45);

 

protected override void OnTick()
       

                
        {
        

        if (Server.Time < activeTime)
        
        return;

Sorry use this one instead:

Thanks for your help!

 

Just so I understand... does this allow me to run 17:00:00 NYC day 1 to 17:00:00 day 2 (ie the full 24 hr session), or is this only the NYC session? I need the full 24
