In regards to spreadsheet automated trading, how do I set the time parameters I would like my system to trade on? For example, I would like it to only trade Monday - Friday 1 AM through 3:30 pm central time. Thanks for any assistance.

what does the minus sign do in this formula ?

=(J41-INT(J41)) > TIMEVALUE("16:15:00")


thanks

In your example, the Date is being subtracted from the DateTime, leaving only the Time.

Tom
Your website is very well put together both visually and the content. Nice work.

Would converting a Multicharts automated signal to Sierra Charts be a big job? I like the Multicharts volatility expansion signal but I cant figure it out .

thanks for the help
