Trading session exclusion

The Trading session exclusion – Prevent open module, will prevent trading during set times.

Example: we set the module not to open orders between 15:00 and 09:00. The module prevents opening orders from 15:00 afternoon till the next morning 09:00. So, if you set the trading session exclusion to between 15:00 and 09:00, then you allow an order to be opened at 9:30 or 10:00, but not at 18:00 or 06:00 (wihtin the exclusion). In this example, if the Open signal (Open buy/ Open sell) activates at 09:10 then the module won’t prevent the order from opening.

You will have to make sure the correct times are set based on your broker’s server time.

Orders will still be closed by Close- Signals and Modules within or outside these times.

This module will not automatically close orders. Multiple modules of this type can be added. This module can be used in collaboration with the Trading session module.

Settings

  • Start Hour (servertime): the starting hour (using 0-23) of preventing opening new orders/ positions. Setting it to 13 equals 1PM.
  • Start Minute (servertime): the starting minutes (0-59) of preventing opening new orders/ positions.
  • Stop Hour (servertime): the end hour (using 0-23) of preventing opening orders/ positions.
  • Stop Minute (servertime): the end minutes (0-59) of preventing opening orders/ positions.

You can set, per day, if the module should have impact on your EA (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday Saturday or Sunday, at server time). So if you only enable Monday and set your Trading exclusion times between 18:00 and 09:00, then your trading times are only affected on Monday. On all other days, your EA will be able to trade whenever it needs to. If you need to disable trading on the other days, please also enable this module for other days, or add the same module again, using different times and days, if this is what you require.
