Need to exit long positions before market close, say, at 1555. There is a previous post which mentions the GetTime function, but that seems to be deprecated. Thus, how can one SellAtMarket at a given time?

Deprecated you say?

Intraday / Multi-Time Frame | Keep from holding positions overnight

On the forum:

Exit End of Day
Exit Positions at End of Day using Rules?
Eliminate overnight trades
Close Out Positions At End Of Day
Cover Short positions near End of Trading Day
Exit positions at end of day?

I can find even more. ;)

I was able to implement the following, where my [i] is the bar:

then, only buy if timenow < 1555. It works fine.

Or if Community Components is installed you can literally use this one-liner:
CODE:

Yes, even "using Community Components" isn't required.
