  Almost every trader loves selecting trading hours and trading days.

  The most common way is to use:

  TimeCond = OpenTime >= HHMMSS and OpenTime <= HHMMSS DayCond = OpenDayOfWeek >= 1 AND OpenDayOfWeek <= 5 IF MyConditions AND Not OnMarket AND TimeCond AND DayCond THEN . . ENDIF

  1 2 3 4 5 6

  TimeCond = OpenTime >= HHMMSS and OpenTime <= HHMMSS DayCond  = OpenDayOfWeek >= 1 AND OpenDayOfWeek <= 5 IF MyConditions AND Not OnMarket AND TimeCond AND DayCond THEN . . ENDIF

  Selecting different days and custom different hours each day is a bit longer, I suggest:

  ONCE startT = 000000 //Starting TIME ONCE endT = 240000 //Ending TIME td0 = 0 AND OpenDayOfWeek = 0 AND OpenTime >= startT AND OpenTime <= endT //Sunday td1 = 1 AND OpenDayOfWeek = 1 AND OpenTime >= startT AND OpenTime <= endT //Monday td2 = 1 AND OpenDayOfWeek = 2 AND OpenTime >= startT AND OpenTime <= endT //Tuesday td3 = 1 AND OpenDayOfWeek = 3 AND OpenTime >= startT AND OpenTime <= endT //Wednesday td4 = 1 AND OpenDayOfWeek = 4 AND OpenTime >= startT AND OpenTime <= endT //Thursday td5 = 1 AND OpenDayOfWeek = 5 AND OpenTime >= startT AND OpenTime <= endT //Friday td6 = 0 AND OpenDayOfWeek = 6 AND OpenTime >= startT AND OpenTime <= endT //Saturday td7 = 0 AND OpenDayOfWeek > 6 AND OpenTime >= startT AND OpenTime <= endT //unpredictable :) td8 = 0 AND OpenDayOfWeek < 0 AND OpenTime >= startT AND OpenTime <= endT //very unpredictable :) :) tdCond = td0 OR td1 OR td2 OR td3 OR td4 OR td5 OR td6 OR td7 OR td8

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

  ONCE startT = 000000   //Starting TIME ONCE endT   = 240000   //Ending TIME td0         = 0 AND OpenDayOfWeek = 0 AND OpenTime >= startT AND OpenTime <= endT  //Sunday td1         = 1 AND OpenDayOfWeek = 1 AND OpenTime >= startT AND OpenTime <= endT  //Monday td2         = 1 AND OpenDayOfWeek = 2 AND OpenTime >= startT AND OpenTime <= endT  //Tuesday td3         = 1 AND OpenDayOfWeek = 3 AND OpenTime >= startT AND OpenTime <= endT  //Wednesday td4         = 1 AND OpenDayOfWeek = 4 AND OpenTime >= startT AND OpenTime <= endT  //Thursday td5         = 1 AND OpenDayOfWeek = 5 AND OpenTime >= startT AND OpenTime <= endT  //Friday td6         = 0 AND OpenDayOfWeek = 6 AND OpenTime >= startT AND OpenTime <= endT  //Saturday td7         = 0 AND OpenDayOfWeek > 6 AND OpenTime >= startT AND OpenTime <= endT  //unpredictable :) td8         = 0 AND OpenDayOfWeek < 0 AND OpenTime >= startT AND OpenTime <= endT  //very unpredictable :) :) tdCond      = td0 OR td1 OR td2 OR td3 OR td4 OR td5 OR td6 OR td7 OR td8

  so you can select DAYS by simply setting 0 or 1 after “=”, as you can select custom hours by changing starting and ending hours, such as starting later on Monday morning or Ending earlier on Friday night or not trading at all on Wednesday.

  You may want to use TIME instead of OPENTIME or DAYOFWEEK instead of OPENDAYOFWEEK as best suits your needs.

  You can use tdCond to (not) enter a trade:

  IF MyConditions AND Not OnMarket AND tdCond THEN . . ENDIF

  1 2 3 4

  IF MyConditions AND Not OnMarket AND tdCond THEN . . ENDIF
