Hi,
I am trying to use Algorithm Framework to model an intraday strategy that buy on market open and sell and market close, How can I emit insight only when the market is open/close for symbols?

Hey Supanat,
This kind of strictly scheduled algorithm works best a classic algorithm with scheduled events. Insights in the framework are meant to be predictions that can be acted on. However it is possible to implement what you wish using the framework.
Instead of using scheduled events, you can hard code time restrictions for buying and selling in the Update method of your AlphaModel. You can enter long on a trade with InsightDirection.Up and exit a trade with InsightDirection.Flat.
Â
class MyAlpha(AlphaModel): def __init__(self): self.day = 0 def Update(self, algorithm, data): insights = [] if self.day == algorithm.Time.day: return insights marketClose = None for symbol in data.Keys: if marketClose is None: marketClose = algorithm.Securities[symbol].Exchange.Hours.GetNextMarketClose(algorithm.Time, False) insights.append(Insight.Price(symbol, marketClose, InsightDirection.Up)) return insightsÂ
Here's an example.
