hello,

I am trying to use the new time icon but apparently I am doing something wrong because the EA doesn't work.

I would like to assign at least two trading time slots for each day, because I would like the EA to trade during a certain time in the morning and then stop and start again later in the day and I only want it to affect the opening conditions and not the closing condition.. so I used two time icons for the opening condition


I connected the first time icon in the following way:

start-->time icon-->and-->TA (buy condition)

the second time icon was connected in the same way.

don't really know what I am doing wrong? Is it not possible to use two time icons simultaneously??

thanks for the help

Yes you can use 2 time icons. Each time icon should join a TA logic using an AND
Please post your strategy to take a look. It seems that you are doing the right things.

find enclosed a screenshot. let me know if you also need the code.

An AND is used to join conditions (All inputs that connect to the AND must be true to execute BUY)
You have something like TA AND TA AND TIME CONDITION1 AND TIME CONDITION2 which may not work (you are joining your 2 time filters).
You need to break it down to TA AND TA AND TIME CONDITION1 and TA AND TA AND TIME CONDITION2

so I just need to need to copy paste the two TAs and the AND and connect the with the second time icon right??

the two time icons are probably blocking each other at the moment, right??

Yes, they are blocking each other
