Good morning.

Is there a facility within Sierra Charts to restrict the times for which trades will be accepted during each session? For example, trading live (not SIM), I only wish for the system to accept new orders between 08:00 & 12:00 ET? Or can a study be created to enable this?

Many thanks

Rob

I have a Risk Management study on my website that will lock trading during specific time periods.

With Server Side User Profit/Loss Management you can enable Flatten Positions At Time for 12:00 ET. Can choose flatten or liquidation only mode to give you more control over how an open position is managed at this time.

For preventing orders between start of session and 08:00 I don't know a native solution
