Hi

How would you flatten positions at a certain time with spreadsheet trading ?

Try this,

In I90, "FLATTEN HOUR="
In J91, "FLATTEN MINUTE="
In J90, enter hour you want to exit, from 0 to 23
In J90, enter minute you want to exit, from 0 to 59
In J29, =IF(TIME(DAY(A3),HOUR(A3), MINUTE(A3)) >= TIME(DAY(A3),HOUR(J90), MINUTE(J91)), TRUE, FALSE)

Or could simply replace HOUR(J90) and MINUTE(J91) with desired figures, e.g. for 1:00 p.m. would use,
In J29, =IF(TIME(DAY(A3),HOUR(A3), MINUTE(A3)) >= TIME(DAY(A3), 13, 0)), TRUE, FALSE)

One thing, it will only update with an incoming tick, so if you have to be flat by a certain time, then you may want to set it before. How long before will depend on the instrument and type of bar chart you are using :-P

This is what I use, in cell J29:
=J41-INT(J41)>TIMEVALUE("15:59:00")
