Hello John,


what can I do to set a date and time to open the market (e.g. 10 minutes before the opening) observe the market for a certain period of time (e.g. one hour) and then jump to the opening of the market on the next day (again 10 minutes before the opening) ?

I ask because rearranging the chart (for the next opening) on 30-second candles is quite a tiring activity....

Thank you for your support

Best regards

We are not sure exactly what you are wanting. But here are some items that we think may be what you are asking for.

First, is the "Chart >> Goto Date-Time" option. Refer to the following:
Chart Menu: Goto Date/Time (Chart menu)

The other is setting the Session Times to only show the period of time you are wanting. So you would set the "Session Start Time" to "08:20" (for example) and then set the "Session End Time" to "09:29:59". This would then only show you bars between those times. Refer to the following:
Chart Session Times: Start Time (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Session Times)

hello John,

I know what the “go to” is - this is not what I mean, because new bars do not automatically appear from the indicated time.

rather, what I mean is that in the “replay chart” function to enable the “go to” function the next day at the same time.

ex.

I set the replay chart to 2022-07-05 at 9:20:00 (I can see on the chart what was drawn the previous day until now) then I let play on my 30 second candles, until 9:40:00.

Then I press some “button” that takes me to the next day (2022-07-06) again at 9:20:00.


What button would I have to press and how would I set it to get what I described above?


Thank you for your support

Best regards

On the Replay Control Panel are options to "Jump" forward or backward. You could set this to jump forward 23 hours by using the "By Time" option. This is the best option available. There is no direct method to get to a specific time during a replay. Refer to the following:
Replaying Charts: Jump

Hello John,

As I have written before:

I want to create a trading system to buy one contract at the opening price determined by the initial candle (open a bar) in the study Horizontal Line at Time (in my case ID9.SG1).

Unfortunately, on the given site (Trading System Based on Alert Condition -about Trading System Based on Alert Condition) I could not find the answer to my question.

The only thing I found, and I reworked it a bit, was the following formula
=AND(ID9.SG1 > TIME(0, 0, 0), ID9.SG1 < TIME(0, 0, 1))

I entered it into Alert to study Trading System Based on Alert Condition.

I checked on the replay, the system makes trades, but with a significant delay (12x30 second candles later) and in the example shown, it meant 35T of lost profit, and in addition, the system without my permission (in places I don't understand) bought 3 more contracts.
Which meant that instead of having 100T of profit from the transaction I had over 100T of loss :(

In Trade Window for Chart I had set to buy 1 contract with Attached Orders TP 100T, SL 20T.

I would be very grateful to you for a hint .... What I am doing wrong.

Best regards
Michal

What exactly are you wanting to accomplish. Please set aside the "Horizontal Line at Time" for the moment, and just tell us what you want to occur. We will then point you to the proper solution.

Hello John,

I want to create an automatic trading system, which will contain buy 1 contract (on a given day) on the opening of the candle at 15:25:00 - every day buys (long) 1 contract according to the opening price of the candle at 15:25:00 (as close to this price and only at this time).
Other settings TP100T, SL 30T managed through Trade Window for Chart

Previously, I chose to study Horizontal Line at Time because it was easier for me to change the settings in this study to test profitability, than to correct the Trading System Based on Alert Condition alert rule.

Warm greetings

Michal

You basically were already doing the time based alert for the alert that you had setup. But the Horizontal Line at time will not do what you are wanting. You need to use the "Trading System Based on Alert Condition" study and enter the following Alert condition:
=AND(BARTIME >= TIME(15, 25, 00), BARTIME < TIME(15, 25, 15))

The above assumes that you have a bar that will open at 15:25:00. The second part of the alert is just to ensure that no trades are done on further bars, so it is limited to a trade when the bar opening time is between 15:25:00 and 15:25:15 (15 seconds leeway).

You could also accomplish this by limiting the trading times on the "Trading System Based on Alert Condition" study to only trade for those 15 seconds, and then set the Alert Condition to be "=1" (always active).

Hello John,

thank you for your quick reply.


Unfortunately, something is still not working.

I threw out all the studies, unfortunately it doesn't include transactions with the time given in the formula 15:25:00(- to 15:25:15).... only with a time of 15:53:30.
I don't know where such a time shift could be coming from.
This is all the more strange because the point drawn on the chart is in the right place (that is, on the candlestick at 15:25:00) - in the attachment I send a file showing this situation.


I've noticed that once the deal is done (and if I'm in the trade a little longer - it adds more contracts. What could I have wrongly set in the Trade Window for Chart?


kind regards
Michal

We are not sure how the order showed up at 15:53:00, as you should not be getting any orders at all. The issue we see is that you have the option for "Evaluate on Bar Close Only" set to "Yes", but since the trading time range is set to 15:25:00 to 15:25:15, the system should not be putting in any orders, as the close of the bar would be outside the range of allowed trading times.

Set the option for "Evaluate on Bar Close Only" to "No" and see if it works as you expect.

Hello John,

still this did not solve the problem.


The first transaction had a delay of 13 bars (13x30s) (4 contracts were made),

the second transaction had a delay of 11 bars (11x30s) (1 contract, but after a few bars again 3 more unwanted transactions were concluded)

the third transaction had a delay of 58 bars (36x30s) (2 contracts were concluded)

I believe you can help me find a solution

my version of sierrachart is 2550 64bit - maybe this will help something

thanks in advance for your support

Best regards

You definitely need to update your software. Follow these instructions to update:
Software Download: Fast Update

But that should not be affecting the current issue.

How are you replaying the chart? Are you using the Replay option or are you using Backtesting? If using Replay, what are the settings?

How are you playing the chart? Is this in real-time, or are you using a replay or a backtest?

Hello John,

I am attaching my replay chart settings (calculate as real time).


As you can see in the attachment I still have a problem with the number of trades (sometimes 1, sometimes 2 , sometimes 4, sometimes 5, and as you can see in the attachment sometimes no trades at all.

I am also worried that I have SL set at 50T and the trade is still going on at 70T, 100T and even 150T loss.

As you can see in the attachment, the system also concluded automatically (without changing the settings) one day at 8:30 and it was in the direction of short.

This worries me a lot.

Thank you for your help.

Best regards

Michal

Please perform a replay and set the speed to be "1". Then start the replay just before the time of the trade. See if running the replay at a slower speed solves the problem.
