Re: [amibroker] EOD exit

[Keith McCombs]

I have some questions:
I thought that TimeNum() returned the time stamp of an existing bar, so 
that if you were using 1 minute bars, you would not get the signal until 
125600, or with 5 minute bars until 130000.  Is that not correct?

Wouldn't it be better to use either TimeNum() >= 125500 (for 
backtesting); and Now(4) > 125500 (for real time trading)?

    Hi,

    Buy = âEUR¦your conditionsâEUR¦.
    Sell = âEUR¦.your conditionsâEUR¦. OR TimeNum() > 125500;

    For example - MACD crossover :

    Buy = Cross( MACD(), Signal() );
    Sell = Cross( Signal(), MACD() ) OR TimeNum() > 125500;


    Best regards

    Hi Gang,
    I'm evaluating a simple day trading concept and I need a quick
    and easy way to exit the trade at 1255 hours.  What code do I
    need to exit either short or long near EOD.
