In a slow market, there might not be a trade within the 2 second window.

Here's another way to do it, if you are using time based bars of an interval that meets 15 min:

K3:
=AND(A3-INT(A3)>TIMEVALUE("16:14:59"),A3-INT(A3)<TIMEVALUE("16:15:01"))
L3:
=AND(A3-INT(A3)>TIMEVALUE("09:14:59"),A3-INT(A3)<TIMEVALUE("09:15:01"))

These 2 second windows will catch the bar timestamp within the floating point errors.
