My broker trades (DAX index) from 8:00 until 22:00.
For some reason I need to inactivate trading my strategy after 21:54, until 8:00 next day = no entry, no SL exit, no TP exit, no other exits within this time period.
Is there a way how to complement the strategy logic to behave this way?
You can limit entries with Entry Time indi.
Yes, of course. I mentioned entries just to stress that I want to block all trading activities.
In fact, the core of my question is how to temporarily deactivate exits ?!
You cannot block SL / TP exits. The FSB expert advisors set SL and TP in the MT order. If the market reaches these stops, the broker executes them automatically on an open market or gives "market is closed" error in the other case.
Hm, I was afraid of such answer.
What about:
21:54 - automatically change SL and TP in the MT order to zero.
08:00 next day - automatically restore SL and TP to original levels.
Could this work, at least theoretically?
There is no easy solution, because this case is a forex anti-pattern. The main principal of the fx trading is that the market is 24/5 and the broker must always execute your order no mater the current price and volume.
I need to synchronize "master" trading signals from FXCM with the "slave" main account at Saxo Bank to achieve equal results.
FXCM trades DAX until 22:00, while Saxo only until 21:55.
