Hi,

As in title, is there an option to use a different algorithm for different time frame, say between the hours of 17:00-8:00 and then a different algorithm in the normal day time frame?


Cheers

You would need to include the time frame conditions in your formulas. Here's one way:

Put these in the following cells:
H3:
=AND(J41-INT(J41)>=TIMEVALUE("08:00:00"),J41-INT(J41)<TIMEVALUE("17:00:00"))
H4:
your conditions specific to the RTH time frame.
H5:
=OR(J41-INT(J41)>=TIMEVALUE("17:00:00"),J41-INT(J41)<TIMEVALUE("08:00:00"))
H6:
your conditions specific to the Globex time frame.

(Use OR if the timeframe spans midnight, use AND if it does not.)

Then include absolute references to $H$3, $H$4 and $H$5, $H$6 using IF statements in your K3-N3 formulas:

=AND(YourConditionsNotSpecificToTimeframe,IF($H$3,$H$4,IF($H$5,$H$6,FALSE)))

Instead of separating things in column H, you could concatenate everything in your K3-N3 formulas.
