The EA doesn't necessarily involve the questions... but maybe it can help give a no brainer answer to my first question.

Stupid but serious question: So will my balance only update on a Friday when the market closes?

Better question: How can I pause/stop my strategy for a week when a certain block happens? (Without using the utility stop strategy)
Lets say I just sold all my open trades. After that I want the whole strategy to stop flowing for one week. Would this be possible with GetTimeUnit blocks? I'm not sure how I'd make it, but figured I'd ask before trying to make it.

Thank you so much in advance,
Blaise

Hi,

Welcome to this forum.


No the balance gets updated every day after settlement @22GMT winter time

This indeed possible : If I consider your example, I assume that your strategy will permanently having open positions and once all closed you will pause the strategy: In this case I will us a condition that checks the number of open positions (Variable called : Position Amount under Positions section in the left side) and IF Position amoutn = 0 then you set a break.
Now the method to set a break in another story and needs more precision in terms of description but basically you need to use a "On / Off" variable and set the way it switch automatically on and off. the most used variable type for this need is "Boolean" but it could be another type.
Attached a simple example using days of the week switch. (more examples available in the section called "Working with time")

Cheers
