I am creating a strategy to trade on 30-min bars of US equity.  It must only enter new trades between 2:59pm-4:00pm  AND  it SHOULD NOT exit trades the same day.  If I buy and sell a stock the same day, I will be flagged as a day trader 🙁

 

What settings do I choose in StrategyQuant to achieve this goal?

There is not option currently that could “prevent” exit the same day as you entered into a position. You will probably need to wait for SQ4 and there you will be able to modify your strategy in strategy editor.

 

Maybe you can try to trade some US stock using CFDs contracts. I think Interactive Brokers allows this

CFD trading is not permitted for US residents. Will SQ4 have the feature to enforce Minimum Bars in Trade or Exit trades only within time range?

Hello,

 

you should be able to control your strategy fully with the Wizard tool in SQ4
