Platinum Customer Joined: 10/20/2008 Posts: 357		Is it possible to run backscanner with the rule that intraday trades such as five min exit on moc - market on close? One thought - it we number the bars 1 thru 78 every day (78 five min bars in a day)  and then exit the trades if any open on bar 78? Thanks.

The info box for the End of Day Condition states, "Checks for the last bar of the trading day." You can view the RealCode for the Condition to see how it works by right-clicking on the Condition and selecting Edit RealCode: If isLastBar = False Then     If Price.DateValue.Day <> Price.DateValue(-1).Day Then pass End If So the RealCode is checking the actual calendar dates of the bars to determine if it is the last bar of the day or not. -Bruce Personal Criteria Formulas TC2000 Support Articles

Worden Trainer Joined: 10/7/2004 Posts: 65,138		It seems like the End of Day Condition in the Web Library got corrupted somehow. It has been replaced and the new End of Day Condition seems to work for me. -Bruce Personal Criteria Formulas TC2000 Support Articles
