Post From: Spreadsheet Trading Backtest--Trades Carry Over During Holidays

Dear Support, Thanks for a great platform. One thing I've noticed when backtesting from a spreadsheet trading study is that it can be difficult to stop trades entered near the end of a day from carrying over to the next day's session during Holidays. I understand that it is possible using the various J column cells to restrict auto trading, flatten positions, cancel orders, etc. at the end of the day by monitoring the current bar time values. However, during days where a session ends at an irregular time a backtested trade simply carries over to the next session. Of course, I could program a custom trading study to ignore those Holiday times or I can go through the trade activity tab afterwards and delete the erroneous trades but both of these methods are cumbersome. A great program could be made better if an auto end of day close trade feature were implemented. Cheers; Date Time Of Last Edit: 2015-01-06 01:44:22
