Trading Schedule & EOD Terminator

10. Trading Schedule & EOD Terminator

Session Schedule (Terminal Local Time)

Each weekday has its own trading window:

Monday:    Inp_Hours_Monday    = "00:00-22:00"
Tuesday:   Inp_Hours_Tuesday   = "00:00-22:00"
Wednesday: Inp_Hours_Wednesday = "00:00-22:00"
Thursday:  Inp_Hours_Thursday  = "00:00-22:00"
Friday:    Inp_Hours_Friday    = "00:00-05:00"  // earlier close — weekend risk

Format: "HH:MM-HH:MM" — multiple ranges per day can be entered, comma-separated, e.g. "09:00-12:00,15:00-20:00". Saturday and Sunday are automatically blocked.

EOD Terminator

An emergency mechanism for closing all positions at a defined time:

Friday:     Inp_EOD_Time_Friday    = "21:39"
Other days: Inp_EOD_Time_OtherDays = "22:29"

Algorithm with retry logic:

  1. Attempts to close all positions on the symbol
  2. If the broker rejects an order → waits 5 seconds → retries (up to 10 attempts)
  3. On success: g_Last_EOD_Day = dt.day_of_year (does not repeat on the same day)

Log: "EOD TERMINATOR: Emergency closing all positions..." → "EOD SUCCESS: Closed position #123." → "EOD TERMINATOR: Chart cleared. Goodnight."
