using formula =OR(J41-INT(J41)<TIMEVALUE("09:30:00"),J41-INT(J41) >TIMEVALUE("16:00:00")) Cell J29 (flatten and cancel) reading "False" and holding no position I ADJUSTED TIME to say =OR(J41-INT(J41)<TIMEVALUE("09:30:00"),J41-INT(J41) >TIMEVALUE("8:00:00")) and cell J29 changed from "False" to "True"
But, alas, on checking later I found the system having taken two more trades, as the study generated signal, (and would've taken more), cell J29 still reading "True" - why was that???
I thought cell J29 is evaluated before any entry cell(s) and would work same as "Disable" ... if not then why weren't the generated trades flattened when cell J29 was reading "True" ?

The Flatten and Cancel cell does not prevent an automated trading system from generating trades.

For information about how that cell works, refer to:

=OR(J41-INT(J41)<TIMEVALUE("09:30:00"),J41-INT(J41) >TIMEVALUE("16:00:00"))
This formula would more likely be used in J28 to disable autotrading after RTH.

Try this in J29 to flatten at a certain time:
=J41-INT(J41)>TIMEVALUE("16:00:00")

If you want to be able to auto-exit after the close time in J28, or if you are scaling in or using reversals, here are more examples:

(These examples would require the time in J29 to be later than the close time in J28)
