Very unique time filter-is it possible?

[halunek23]

I know how to set a filter that will open 2 orders at 15 o'clock, can I set a filter that will do the same for, for example, 14:59:55?

but if you want catch high volatility trades (like during news) prepare for big spread and delays (which can move trades on bad prices) ...

But be careful with these seconds. Under "on Tick" you should expect that there is no tick coming in your time, so the exact second could be missed. That's why miro1360 shows you how to set a period of few seconds, just in case. After this block I can suggest to place "Once per bar", because you could have multiple ticks in this period.

And if you really, really want to open a trade at this second, you can put these blocks under "on Timer". There are settings for the timer somewhere in the project settings (that icon in the upper right corner) where you can set the timer to work every 1 second.

so i should move every block in my startegy to "on timer" right?

@halunek23
no on tick !!
since there can be no tick at a single unique moment

@fxDreema @beatking

its ok now?

[bk7]

no you need to bring them in the on tick section

@beatking
and what if between 14:59:56 and 14:30 there will be no tick

[bk7]

if there is no tick there is no volume in the market

no volume in the market == no execution of an order

raw and very basic example
