Close All On Market Close Sample
16 Aug 2024, 05:45


Hi everyone,

I'm very much a newbie when it comes to cBot!

I would like all of my open positions to be closed at 3:30pm New York Time (30mins before NY close).

I managed to make a cBot using the “Close All On Market Sample” but I'm not sure what time to put in the “parameters” to close my positions at 3:30pm NY time.

My cTrader server time is UTC+0.  I usually have my time set to UTC-4 (New York time). I have tested by using a time a minute or 2 after the current UTC0  and UTC-4 time but the Bot didn't fire.  I don't understand the time convention the Bot is using. I did manage to get the cBot to close a position so I know it works.

I am based in Melbourne, Australia and use cTrader on the Mac desktop app, predominately using 5 min charts.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Here is the code (I didn't make any mods):
