  Hi, I have a problem concerning the programming of an automatic trading system (I specify that I am a beginner …), namely: if I want the first operation of the day to have different conditions from the rules that I will then apply in the rest of the trading day, which instructions should I give to the trading system? Thank you for your understanding and any help you can give me.

  If above means first run of the code at day open then you could use (not code as we not sure yet).

  What Timeframe is your Chart running on and what time is day Open day close etc?

  If Time = 08000 (for example) then
  follow these conditions
  Endif

  If Time > 080000 AND Time < 210000 Then
  follow these conditions
  Endif

  There you go:

  ONCE FirstTime = 1 IF IntraDayBarIndex = 0 THEN FirstTime = 1 ENDIF IF myConditions1 AND FirstTime THEN BUY 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET FirstTime = 0 ENDIF IF myConditions2 AND Not FirstTime THEN BUY 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET ENDIF

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

  ONCE FirstTime = 1 IF IntraDayBarIndex = 0 THEN    FirstTime = 1 ENDIF IF myConditions1 AND FirstTime THEN    BUY 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET    FirstTime = 0 ENDIF IF myConditions2 AND Not FirstTime THEN    BUY 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET ENDIF
