I want to liquidate all existing positions intraday and then stop trading 30 mins before the market closes. What would be the best way to do it?
I have
self.Schedule.On(self.DateRules.EveryDay("SPY"), self.TimeRules.BeforeMarketClose("SPY", 2), self.Liquidate)
for liquidation 2 minutes before market closes, but it doesn't stop it from entering orders.

Hey Oscar,
If we're placing trades in OnData, an easy way to time restrict our algorithm's trading is to use if statements to check the current algorithm time and not trade if the time is outside of our bounds. We can set the time we should stop at by taking the current datetime, and replacing the time component to our stop time. And then we can return if the current time is greater than the stop time.

def OnData(self, data):
stop_time = self.Time.replace(hour=15, minute=29, second=0)
if self.Time > stop_time:
return
