Hi Alex,

Thanks for posting in our forum. However it is not clear what kind of advice do you need. Could you please explain further?

Best Regards,

Yes, I'm aware of some code you can implement to a cAlgo bot to have it only trade between specified hours - how would I go about implementing that to a bot I have already written?

Hi Alex,

If you share your code, we might be able to make some suggestions.

Right now I'm using the Sample RSI bot as my template - what code would I add to that to only let it trade within certain hours?

Do you know if this code works in back tests? I can't tell if its working or not to be honest ... perhaps a timezone issue?

Ηι alex_mihail,

You can backtest this and check if positions are openen or closed during those hours in history.

This works, thanks!

But is there anyway to add an input field (parameter) to change the start and stop hour like there is a field to change the RSI period and source? For now, I have to go into the code and manually set the hours I want to backtest.

Maybe you want an indicator, more reusable and with some minor changes can work ok every timeframe perfectly

Hi, I made an indicator for this because trading the australian session from 21 to 6 central european time the < and > caused me troubles.

Just add a reference to your bot and if Hourok.Result.LastValue is 1 you can place your trade.

If you want to use it on timeframes < 1 hour you will have to do some minor changes adding minutes filtering, if you want to use it for timeframes >1 hour you have to decode bar time to and index(1 to 6 for 4hours timeframe) otherwise you will be missing lot of bars( 4h bars starting time changes over time....).

Ctrader , Indicator and bot on the same timezone, this is central european. Remember that if the timezone has a daylight saving time in order to show correctly the time you have to change ctrader time(we are on summer and you wanna check the indicator on winter you will have to change ctrader time)

The parameters for the hours work well but is it possible to add "minutes" to the parameters. For example, instead of starting a trade at 14:00, it starts at 14:15 or even 14:18.

Is this possible? All help is highly appreciated!

Hi there,

You can write something like this

            if(Server.Time.TimeOfDay > TimeSpan.ParseExact("21:00", "hh\\:mm", null))
            {
                foreach (var position in Positions)
                {
                    position.Close();
                }
            }

HI, i am new to this ctrader and i don't know how to write the codes, so could you help me to find the highest high of last set of bars and not including the current bar, the code below includes current bar i believe. i want to check whether the current bar close price has crossed previous maximum for set of bars or minimum for set of bars 

      Bars.ClosePrices.Last(1) >   Bars.HighPrices.Maximum(3) 
      Bars.ClosePrices.Last(1) <   Bars.LowPrices.Minimum(3)
