Session / Block Hours

A time condition — true/false based on the bar's hour (reads the timestamp directly, no input needed)

When to use: Restricting entry times: trade only during a session with good volume (e.g. 7-17), or block news/low-liquidity hours (e.g. 8,9,12 as used in "007")

Ports

• out-result — true when the bar falls within an allowed time — connect into an AND with other conditions

Params

• mode — session = allow the start→end range / block = disallow the listed hours
• start_hour — Session start hour (session mode)
• end_hour — Session end hour — exclusive (session mode)
• block_hours — Comma-separated hours to block, e.g. "8,9,12" (block mode)
