I have tried it now with this, but was not succesfull. The error messages: (sorry in german)

       if (Server.Time.TimeOfDay > TimeSpan.ParseExact("07:00")) & (Server.Time.TimeOfDay < TimeSpan.ParseExact("17:00"));
        {
                if (bullish)
                {
                    if (!IsPositionOpenByType(TradeType.Buy))
                    {
                        OpenPosition(TradeType.Buy);
                    }
                }

                if (exit_bullish)
                {
                    ClosePosition(TradeType.Buy);
                }

                if (bearish)
                {
                    if (!IsPositionOpenByType(TradeType.Sell))
                    {
                        OpenPosition(TradeType.Sell);
                    }
                }

                if (exit_bearish)
                {
                    ClosePosition(TradeType.Sell);
                }
            }
        }

                {
                    ClosePosition(TradeType.Sell);
                }
            }
        }

Also tried this one. Now without error messages, but just ignored when executing.

if ((DateTime.Now.Hour >= 07) & (DateTime.Now.Hour <= 17));

Can be closed, got it working:

var tradingStarts = TimeSpan.ParseExact("08:00", "hh\\:mm", null);
var tradingStops = TimeSpan.ParseExact("18:00", "hh\\:mm", null);

if (Server.Time.TimeOfDay >= tradingStarts && Server.Time.TimeOfDay < tradingStops)
