Time Series;Time Value Issue

[thinkster]

Hello NT Support,
I'm trying to get a simple strategy in Condition Builder (Strategy Wisard) to trade in a time range. Say 2:30pm to 4:00pm. Distibution in backtest shows good results in this time range. The strategy is already set up between 9:30am to 4:00pm in the time series/time value condition. No problem. But when I change the values I get a warning: Property Values not valid. Details: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. All I did was change the values.

Hello,

Thank you for your post and welcome to our forums!

Are you changing the values through the code, wizard or from the strategy parameters?

What were the values you attempted to change to?

I changed the values in the Condition Builder in Parameters window at bottom. I found that changing any value --say from 4:00PM to 3:00PM would throw the warning. I tried other values and got the same result.

Thanks for the clarification.

This error can be thrown if the values are not in the correct format.

For example if you tried using 9:36, or 9:36AM, the error would be thrown. You would need to use 9:36 AM (space between the minute and AM/PM)

Thanks Mathew, that worked.
