There
are Time and Date functions to allow making decisions wrt date&time. For
example DateNum(), TimeNum(), Now(), Minutes(), Seconds(),
etc.
To
know tomorrow whether a condition was true during a previous run you can use
StaticVariables, see StaticVarSet() and StaticVarGet(). These variables will
retain their values regardles of whether you shut down and power up your
compurter. For example to know that you started a new day you could
use NewDay = DateNum() != ref(DateNum(),01);
There
are also ParamDate() and ParamTime() function that allow you to manually change
the Date/Time parameters for your conditions.

G'day all,
My code
includes a section where if a condition is met today, I need it
to wait
until tomorrow's close, compare to previous day and either
execute a buy
or discard and move on. In the real world, i'd say this is
simple enough
to do because all i'd need to do is set my condition to
alert me if it is
met. I then wait a day and at EOD I can make my
comparison and either
enter the trade or discard it. But how can i
simulate this in a back
test?? How can i code a delay or a wait until
tomorrow for my comparison
to occur?
Any help will be greatly
appreciated.
Andrew.
