SetExitonClose may only be used when testing, not live trading.

I do not thing it is advisable to close an open position when trading live via a general command; such command should be congruent with the rest of the code.

You can use time based condition to exit something like:

Code: Select all

Input: MyTime(1528);

If time >= MyTime then begin

Sell ("_LX_") Next Bar at Market;
BuytoCover("_SX_") Next Bar at Market;

end;

Super,

What you have suggested is correct as far as exits are concerned.

But one will also need to ensure there are NO NEW ENTRIES between the MyTime exit and daily close!

Then there could the matter of IBOG being TRUE or FALSE.

Super,

Your code is correct but I should use 1 min or 5 min bar to run the system. If I use 30 min bar or 15 min bar, the system will exit 30 min or 15 min before the market close. The exit price and the real market close may have a big difference.

The code reads computer time so it should not matter, however you have to remeber what Khalaad suggested.

There is a very elgant code posted on TS forum by Goose and I use it with great effect. (EoD Exit)

Message me if you do not have access to TS forum.
