How to use time in streak

[Hiren]

Hi,

Is it possible to incorporate time in your coding ?

I am looking to exit after a certain period of time after entry. So… is it possible to record the entry time and then I can exit after 2 hours (or any time as required). How do I do that?

How to use the “candle time” function?

Thanks

You can create a condition for exiting at a specific time like every day at 2:30 PM but not a specific period of time after entry. But I have noted this requirement.

How to use the “candle time” function?

Candle Time function is used to create condition on the basis of time
For example if you want to set a condition for running a strategy only on thrusday, you can write candle time(dayofweek) equal to 4. Monday is 1, tuesday is 2 and so on.

If you want to exit on the basis of certain information being true at a specific time, you can add that as well. Suppose, you want to exit at 3:15, you can do that as well.
