We are excited to announce a new feature that allows you to specify the exact days and times your strategies are allowed to execute trades. Set up trading windows that align with your trading plan to ensure that trades only happen when you want them to. If a signal is sent out of these windows, it'll be logged as 'ignored' - no unexpected trades, just full control.

This feature is perfect for traders using various strategies without access to modify the code, this feature puts the power in your hands, right within TradersPost. Here is an example screenshot from the strategy subscription settings to show an example configuration for trading different times on different days.
