Well, maybe I'm searching the forum for the wrong term, using 'end of day' includes lots of MS EOD results. I'm wanting to code an exit for intraday trades at end of day, like for 5 min bars I'd add to other exit rules.........:
"or current bar 3:55pm"
Thanks!

There are functions that allow you to reference time, i.e. Hour(), Minute(). Hours should follow a 24-hour clock. So a simple formula of:
Hour() = 8 AND Minute() = 45 would trigger when the time was equal to 8:45 AM. You will always want to make sure to pick a time that exists in the relevant periodicity. In other words, Hour()=8 AND Minute() = 45 would not trigger on a 10-minute chart where the bars are stamped 8:10, 8:20, 8:30, 8:40, 8:50.

EDIT-forum won't let me delete post, problem was due to using NY time instead of local..
D'oh!
Whoops, for some reason it isn't working. In addition to other buy/sell rules, I've added
entry 'and hour()>9 and hour()<15'
exit 'or (hour()=15 and minute()=50)'
This is on a 2 minute bar test.. Any ideas?
Thanks
:)
