AB Users Guide says of TimeNum,
"Returns the array with numbers that represent quotation time coded as
follows:"
So I guess that means what it says, 'quotation' time.
Thanks to Ed and reinsley for putting me back on track.

funny I just ran into that problem yesterday. I also thought this
would be the case. For my auto system I used Hermans code for a new
bar, like:
PrevTN = StaticVarGet("TimeNumber" + Name() + "combiSys");
TN = LastValue(TimeNum());
NewBar = TN != PrevTN;
StaticVarSet("TimeNumber" + Name() + "combiSys",TN);
however,
if (NewBar)
{
}
inside a 5 minute chart will give a true value each minute.
I needed to use:
if (NewBar AND LastValue(round(Minute()/(Interval()/60)) -
Minute()/(Interval()/60)) != 0)
{
}
this will give a true value every 5 minutes inside a 5min chart.

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.
TIA
