Hi there,

This cell is not effectively holding the disable auto trading. Is there something else that can do this?
My code in cell J28 to lock in no trading is:
=AND(OR(J41-INT(J41)<TIMEVALUE("08:45:00"),J41-INT(J41)>TIMEVALUE("15:00:00")))

but it entered at 16:08

screenshot attached.
Greatly appreciately if we can figure out why this is entering when the cell has locked trading.
I have just opened Sierra chart if and it auto traded with a buy position.
That's the only thing I am facing currently, thank you.

We cannot help with the formula but we recommend that you enable Trade >>Disable Auto Trading on Startup

You want trading to enabled from 8:45 till 15:00, right?

Use:

=OR(J41-INT(J41)<TIMEVALUE("08:45:00"),J41-INT(J41)>TIMEVALUE("15:00:00"))

I would recommend to use another cell to disable autotrading via a filter condition and use the output
together with a entry condition. Then it is still possible to use the exit cells, if e.g. a trade ist entered at 14:58.
