Hi SC,

I made an automated trading strategy via your "Spreadsheet System for Trading" tool and am about to test it over 1 month of data using the "AutoTrade System Replay Backtest" mode.

How can I make the automated trading strategy do the following during the backtest?

1. Only run/trade between the hours of 9am-5pm.
2. Closes all open trades at 5pm.

Thnks.
