Flatten Positions And Cancel Orders At Set Time (read/write) [v1:J88, v2:J97] This cell will not perform a Flatten Positions or Cancel Orders operation when [...] using Allow Trading Only During Time Range and the current time based on the current chart bar time is outside of the specified time range. This does not make much sense. When Time For Flatten Positions And Cancel Orders (read/write) [v1:J89, v2:J98] is set to e.g. 15:59:58, it will flatten the position but immediately execute another trade if the buy or sell signal is set. Thus I would want to set End Time For Allowed Time Range (read/write) [v1:J87, v2:J96] to e.g. 15:59:55 to prevent this to occur. But setting End Time For Allowed Time Range (read/write) [v1:J87, v2:J96] to a value smaller than Time For Flatten Positions And Cancel Orders (read/write) [v1:J89, v2:J98] will suppress the flattening action. This does not make sense to me. Flatten Positions And Cancel Orders At Set Time (read/write) [v1:J88, v2:J97] should be independent of Allow Trading Only During Time Range (read/write) [v1:J85, v2:J94] |

Flatten Positions And Cancel Orders At Set Time (read/write) [v1:J88, v2:J97]
The solution to this is to not use J85-J89, and instead use this example in cell J28 (v1):should be independent of Allow Trading Only During Time Range (read/write) [v1:J85, v2:J94] Spreadsheet Example Formulas and Usage: Disable Autotrading Outside of Regular Trading Hours By including J8 in this formula, no new entry can occur outside of the time window, but exits can. Then in J29 (v1), be sure the time is outside the time window in J28. |
