Hello,
a friend of mine and me are struggling in getting a trading system to trade JUST between certain hours (i.e. trade from 3:00 AM to 4:00 AM ONLY).
Well, how do we code this in ASCIL for a trading system in Sierra ?

Thank you
Andrew

Here is an example:

  //Optional: Check if within allowed time range. In this example we will use 10:00 through 14:00. This is according to the time zone of the chart.
  int BarTime = sc.BaseDateTimeIn[sc.Index].GetTime();
  bool TradingAllowed =(BarTime >= HMS_TIME(10, 0, 0) && BarTime < HMS_TIME(14, 0, 0));

You can then use TradingAllowed in your code anywhere you require.
