Time-of-Day-block-AND-other-condition

Thanks, I am not getting any trades when I add the Time of Day block.
I do get trades if I have only the Close Grater than EMA block enabled though.

Are you running on an intraday scale? Did you enable pre-post market data? Did you open a chart and verify that your selected provider is returning the expected data?

Thanks, It was a data download issue I solved it.
In reality what I was looking for is to sets of conditions to occur at different times of day to be true. See code below. Is it possible to do it with two "Multi-Condition" Blocks maybe?

CODE:
        public override void Initialize(BarHistory bars)
        {
         indicator1 = bars.Close;
         indicator2 = new SMA(bars.Close,20);
         PlotIndicator(indicator2,new WLColor(0,0,0));

        }

        public override void Execute(BarHistory bars, int idx)
        {
         int index = idx;
         Position foundPosition0 = FindOpenPosition(0);
         bool preMktCondition;
         if (foundPosition0 == null)
         {
            preMktCondition = false;
            {
               if(bars.DateTimes[index].GetTime() >= 928)
               {
                  if(bars.DateTimes[index].GetTime() <= 929)
                  {
                     if (index - 0 >= 0 && indicator1[index] < indicator2[index - 0])
                     {
                        preMktCondition = true;
                     }
                  }
               }
            }

                                MktHrsCondition = false;
            {
               if(bars.DateTimes[index].GetTime() >= 935)
               {
                  if(bars.DateTimes[index].GetTime() <= 1045)
                  {
                     if (index - 0 >= 0 && indicator1[index] < indicator2[index - 0])
                     {
                        MktHrsCondition = true;
                     }
                  }
               }
            }

            if (preMktCondition) && (MktHrsCondition)
            {
               _transaction = PlaceTrade(bars, TransactionType.Buy, OrderType.Market, 0, 0, "Buy At Market (1)");
            }
         }

yes, it sounds like that’s what would do it.

At the very least you need to promote preMktCondition and MktHrsCondition from the method level to the class level. And, you need to consider resetting both of them prior to 9:28.

Thanks, I am trying the concept in Building Blocks. This is what I came up (C# Code below) With Building Blocks will not give me any entries because both Multiple Conditions cancel each other. Any suggestions welcomed. Thank you.

First, if you stack Multi-Condition blocks, then they both have to be true, which is not what you want. You need to put each one under its own BuyAtMarket signal. However, both could create a position on the same day.

Recently we discussed the need for an "OR Divider" but I'm not sure if that we turned into a Feature Request or not.

Also, the time condition is VERY restrictive. e.g., If there's no premarket bar at 9:28, then you'll never get a signal.

I just turned it into one: Or condition with multiple condition blocks.

Thanks Eugene. Add your vote for first post on that topic.. I added mine!

Both multiple conditions have to be true though. It is a reference to a previous event in time. So if previous event = true and current event = true then... Enter.
It might work if I split the premarket session and the regular session into 2 different sessions?

I see what you mean - you want an enabling premarket condition that stays true all day AND when the other block is true, then place the trade.

There are some things you'll probably never be able to do with blocks, but maybe we can envision adding a Power Pack "Setup" Qualifier. We'll have to study it!

Yes thank you. This will be useful also for near past events of any sort.
