Hello rickyblah12,

You could create this type of condition using the TimeSeries in the builder.

In each set where you want the trading to be limed, you would need to add two conditions as a condition group, I will provide the steps below. Keep in mind, after making condition groups you can right click ->save as on the group if you need to quickly replicate this in other sets.

The conditions are as follows, if the time is less than 4 or greater than 6

1. In a Set page, click Group
2. Select if "Any" of the conditions are met
3. Click Add
4. Select Time -> Time Series Less Time->Time Value and enter 4
5. Click OK
6. Click Add
7. Select Time -> Time Series Greater Time->Time Value and enter 6
8. Click OK

You should end up with a condition that brackets the time, it reads as: if the current time is less than 4 or greater than 6, we can trade.



I look forward to being of further assistance.
