hi- i am trying to write buy/sell entries based upon certain criteria being met at the open....specifically within 5 minutes of the open. i have been through several threads on the support board but cant get this to work. not sure what i am doing wrong....=AND($J$41>=TIMEVALUE("08:00:00"),($J$41<=TIMEVALUE("08:10:00"),(id0.sg4@3>id3.sg1@3)).... this is where i am. i only want the spreadsheet to look at the first 5 minutes after the open and include at least one other qualifier like the example, but i can't get it to work. any help would be super!!

Try this: =AND($J$41>=TIMEVALUE("08:00:00"),$J$41<=TIMEVALUE("08:10:00"),(id0.sg4@3>id3.sg1@3) |

Hi, thanks for the response but that still does not seem to work. This is the current equation i am using: =AND($J$41>=TIMEVALUE("08:00:00"),$J$41<=TIMEVALUE("08:10:00"),CROSSFROMBELOW(ID0.SG4@3:ID0.SG4@4,ID3.SG1@3:ID3.SG1@4)) the ending part works just fine all on its own but when i couple it with the time constraint it doesnt return any signals. Any ideas?! |

If you are expecting an arrow, it will only appear in Replay or in real time because J41 is the chart's update DateTime.

It does not appear in replay as well, for some reason the time command negates any signal from occurring. I have it written exactly as above and it does not work in replay. Again, the "crossfrom...signal is fine until I add the time part to the equation.

Oops. Use this instead: =AND($J$41-INT($J$41)>=TIMEVALUE("08:00:00"),$J$41-INT($J$41)<=TIMEVALUE("08:10:00"),CROSSFROMBELOW(ID0.SG4@3:ID0.SG4@4,ID3.SG1@3:ID3.SG1@4)) J41 includes the date and time, and the TIMEVALUE function is only the time, so $J$41-INT($J$41) is needed to remove the date and leave only the time. |

Thank you very much!! That works and is exactly what I wanted. Is there a way to limit the signal to only fire once per day, possibly with (J7=0) where the prior position must have equaled 0, though this does not seem to update on a per day basis, rather after each trade..... Thanks!! |
