Is there a way to disable live trading, I guess by switching to sim mode, and back, and certain times of the day?

We would need to add an ACSIL function to control this, and then you can change it with a custom study at any time you want.

No Need to switch to Sim. You can have the same effect by locking trading using the ACSIL function:

sc.SetTradingLockState(1);

Yes that is true. We were going to post that function:
ACSIL Interface Members - Functions: sc.SetTradingLockState()

Thank you, this will work perfectly, no need for that additional function.
