Using only time rules in the scheduling framework, how can one schedule an event to fire every X mins, starting from Y mins after opening bell, and stopping at Z mins before closing bell?
For example: Where x=10, y=45, z=60:Starting 45 mins after opening bell (10:15am), call exitSignalCheck() every 10 mins. Once it is 60 mins before close (3:00pm), stop checking.
Ideally I want to only use the scheduling framework: “self.Schedule.On” and some combination of TimeRules. If that’’s not possible, please advise some other efficient way.

Hi .ekz.,
For the above implementation, we recommend creating scheduled events in a loop. Refer to the attached backtest

Cheers, Varad kabade . This is an interesting approach --it definitely does work.
I was hoping for something more like: after(x).forEvery(y).Before(z)
But I suppose it would be doing the same thing under the hood.
Thanks!
