Post From: Renko Chart Bar Based Backtesting Flattening Issue

in my back testing I close positions before market close (here on the US east coast markets close at 16:00) at 15:55.
And for not time based bars I test if the time is equal or greater than the close time.

Testing just equal 15:55 on volume charts will not work.

On time based strategies the time frame must match up with the closing time like 15:55 will work on a 5min chart but not on a 10min or 2min chart.
15:50 would work for 2 or 10 minute charts, or again just test if the time is greater than the expected.
