This is in reference to historical back testing.
I would like to close my position at 12.30 (pacific time).
I am using range candles and the time stamp used is the open of the bar. If the bar that signals the closing of the strategy opened at 11.30am but does not close till 1.00pm the next bar open time is 1pm so the close is at 1pm.
I tried setting the closing time between 12.00pm and 12.30pm but there are still instances where the bar is outside that time frame.
I have seen posts to hard code a secondary time series for the close time (1 min bar). Is there a way I can do this with the strategy builder?
Is it possible to change the "exit on session close" parameters in the strategy analyzer? Changing the end session time for the instrument seems to affect the chart.
I have also tried setting the strategy to "on each tick" I thought this might work since I have tick data available but it does not. The other problem with that solution is it would affect the entry.
Thank you
