You can create a cBot and then override the OnBar method and then within that check if MarketSeries.OpenTime.LastValue is the time you want; if it is, submit your order. 

using cAlgo.API;

namespace cAlgo.Robots
{
    [Robot(TimeZone = TimeZones.EasternStandardTime, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class OrderAtFixedTime : Robot
    {
        [Parameter(DefaultValue = 9)]
        public int Hour { get; set; }

        [Parameter(DefaultValue = 30)]
        public int Minute { get; set; }

        [Parameter(DefaultValue = TradeType.Buy)]
        public TradeType Side { get; set; }

        [Parameter]
        public double Volume { get; set; }

        [Parameter(DefaultValue = 10, MinValue = 0)]
        public double TriggerPipOffset { get; set; }

        [Parameter(DefaultValue = 5, MinValue = 0)]
        public double StopLimitRangePips { get; set; }

        protected override void OnBar()
        {
            var openTime = MarketSeries.OpenTime.LastValue;
            if (openTime.Hour != Hour || openTime.Minute != Minute) 
                return;

            var targetPrice = MarketSeries.Close.LastValue + (Side == TradeType.Buy ? 1 : -1) * TriggerPipOffset * Symbol.PipSize;
            var label = "AUTO_" + SymbolName + "_" + openTime.ToString("s");
            PlaceStopLimitOrder(Side, SymbolName, Volume, targetPrice, StopLimitRangePips, label);
            Stop();
        }
    }
}
