Please help. I am trying to set my auto trades to match the times on
my backtest. So that the trades will be made at approximately the
same times as the times on my backtest trade list. I only have about
5 trades a week and want to set the times of the trades to the 3
times a day that the bars change to match my backtesting trade list.
There are only 3 different times on my backtesting which are 4:30 am,
10:40am, and then no time at all-just the date. I just need to know
what times to use. I have changed my computer time to EST from PST
and changed the times to EST in my formula, but then the times on my
backtest changed.
I am not a programmer and really don't understand how this works. I
just know that I would like my trades to match my backtest. I realize
that there will be differences in both the trades and profit, but I
just want the trades to be close to the time on the backtest.
Thanks,
Tom
