Good evening,
the objective of this strategy is to take profit from the economic release.

The strategy should
- insert the entry period (Example 07/10/2016 12:28)
- insert the closing period (Example 07/10/2016 12:30)
-Calculate the high of the previous minute candle (example at the closing of 12:28 minute candle the high is 0.8012)
-Sum this High + 0.001 (sum 10 pips to the previous high), this value is the BUYSTOP of the strategy
-Calculate the low of the previous minute candle (example at the closing of 12:28 minute candle the low is 0.8007)
-Subtract 10 pips to this low, so low - 0.001 (subtract 10 pips to the previous low), this value is the SELLSTOP
-At 12:29 the strategy open two pending position (a BUYSTOP and a SELLSTOP)
-If one pending position is filled the other one should be closed
-At 12:30 the strategy close and do not open any pending position


The strategy actually do not open positions

Hi,

From your description it is assumed that "nfpopen" and nfpclose variables are static and to be determined manually at the strategy launch thus there is no need to use "Get time unit" block which is a tool to get the time stamp dynamically.
In the attached example I've set these variables to global so that you can set them at the launch of the strategy.

In case you need these variables to work only every Friday of the month at a given time then you have to use Get time unit to catch the day of the week, make sure the day is Friday, get the time, input your time slot as a condition and here you go.

Thanks
