Good suggestion, Mike.
I tried implementing that idea as follows:
ForceCloseTradesAfter = 151300;
NextBarOutsideRTH = (Ref(TimeNum(),1) > ForceCloseTradesAfter);
NextBarNotToday = (Ref(DateNum(),1) > DateNum());
Sell = SellCondition OR NextBarOutsideRTH OR NextBarNotToday;
However, there are still trades in backtesting that doesn't close on
the same day. What am I missing? Do you think the trade delays of 1
bar that I have in place is causing exceptions? If so, how do I
programmatically override them for the above conditions
(NextBarOutsideRTH/NextBarNotToday)?
