Adding time condition to a new strategy

[stockpicker]

Hi i was hoping if you could lend a hand with the following strategy. We are looking at a long strategy with the following conditions and have listed what we have written in the strategy builder below.

1. Firstly we have ADX(21)>ADX(21)\1\ listed though we are wanting the ADX to only give a buy when the ADX value in the current period is larger than 0.25 than the previous period. IE buy if current ADX is 24.31 and previous period is 24.04 for instance though not buy if current period is 24.31 and previous is only 24.20.

2. Secondly we are needing to put some time condition into the strategy so that it doesn't constantly run across all timeframes going back in the charts. We are wanting it to only trade between 17:00 and 08:00 though anything outside this timeframe will not be accounted for in the strategy.

Can this be done?

Long Entry Condition:
 
1) 8 EMA > 13 EMA
2) +DMI > -DMI
3) ADX > -DMI & ADX increase from period before of >0.25
4) RSI < 75


return (DMIPlus(21)>DMIMinus(21)) and (EMA(C,8)>EMA(C,13)) and ADX(21)>DMIMinus(21)and RSI(C,14)<75 and ADX(21)>ADX(21)\1\ ;

Dear stockpicker,

Here is the following code:

return (DMIPlus(21)>DMIMinus(21)) and (EMA(C,8)>EMA(C,13)) and ADX(21)>DMIMinus(21)and RSI(C,14)<75 and ADX(21)>ADX(21)\1\

and ((ADX(21)-ADX(21)\1\) > ADX(21)* 0.25) and (hour() >= 17 or hour() < 8 ) ;


Sincerely,

Thank you very much for that, however shouldnt and ((ADX(21)-ADX(21)\1\) > ADX(21)* 0.25) be ((ADX(21)-ADX(21)\1\) > ADX(21)+ 0.25) with a plus being the current ADX +.25 and not multiplied by 0.25 as that would lead to a lower number than the previous ADX period?

and ((ADX(21)-ADX(21)\1\) > ADX(21)* 0.25) and (hour() >= 17 or hour() <

Dear stockpicker,

We just thought that you want to compare ADX difference with 25% from ADX in the current period. And you want to compare ADX difference with change in price on 25%.
And in your case the final expression should be:

((ADX(21)-ADX(21)\1\) > 0.25);

Thank you for getting back and letting me know what happened.  Now that I know it was a one-time problem, I feel so much better.  Much relief; thanks.
