Hi, pls, is there a working way how to set exit condition to the end of trading hours? The question is related to spreadsheet system for trading. I use exact time for exit condition, but it is unreliable. Either the data ends earlier (for some special days), either there is no bar close (volume chart)... and there is plenty of reasons why this is not working properly. Thank you in advance. Mirek |

What cell are you comparing to determine the last traded time? You need to use J41: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/doc_SystemsAlerts.php#CellJ41 Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

Thanks for replying. I simply use A3 but I dont think this is a problem. I guess my question was not clear. I know some other platforms support "EOD exit" condition, however I have no idea, how this is implemented. Lets have an exit of all positions every day at 15:10. Usually it works fine. In some cases there are missing data for this exact time, for example (shortened trading hours). Then the condition waits for another 24 hours (at least). |

You could make the comparison to the time returned by NOW(): http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/doc_WorksheetFunctions.html Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

NOW() only updates when the chart updates, so it wouldn't be any better than using J41.

Yes, this is true. However, it always returns the most current time.
