How to Use Custom Time Windows for Precise Control
Custom time windows let you define specific hours for your strategy to execute trades. This is particularly useful for strategies targeting specific intraday patterns or events.
How to configure:
- Enable the Custom option under Trade specific sessions.
- Enter your desired time range in the Custom session window field (e.g., 0600-1700 for 6:00 AM to 5:00 PM).
- Set the timezone for your custom session (e.g., GMT+2).
Example:
- For a strategy that trades the opening hours of the U.S. market, set Custom session window to 1430-1600 and timezone to GMT-5.
Tips:
- Use custom windows to target specific times with consistent patterns, like market openings or news releases.
- Ensure your timezone setting matches your broker's for accuracy.
