Hi Tom, How about something like:
//Trim seconds off the time HHMM = TimeNum/100; // Buy at 14:30, 17:00, 17:30 & 18:00 Buy = HHMM == 1430 Or HHMM == 1700 Or HHMM == 1730 Or HHMM == 1800; Cheers, Ian --- In [email protected], "professor77747" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I would like to run a backtest that will buy at 4 specific times during > the day. > > I have a formula that will do that, but when I backtest it will only > buy at 3 times which are the times that I have on the database > settings.
