Hi,

In simulator or screener, when choosing an intraday time frame, click on "Options" then uncheck "Use data outside regular hours".
For each exchange/market you can select when the session begins and ends (Accounts -> Intraday Settings -> Exchange).

Now with this, you can define for example "3.00 p.m." as the time the session closes.
In order to use "3.30 p.m." in the screener, either you:
- Delete all quotes that occur after 3.30 p.m. (using the script editor) and check "Use data outside regular hours"
- Or you can create a new account and define "3.30 p.m." as session close for that account.
Note that both accounts can share the same database (Select "Accounts -> Change Account -> Update Account -> Set the database folder to the same location)

Thanks for reply i tried it but it didn't work actually i want to make 3.00 p.m. closing price for stock symbols for current date in place of 3.30 p.m. but my historical data downloader downloads at naturally closing which is 3.30 p.m. i want that at current date it download only till 3.00 p.m. or whatever time i choose so that i could use historical data till current date's desired time for purchase/sell before closing if there is any solution for this please tell me

Did you change the exchange session end time? (Accounts -> Intraday Settings -> Exchange)

Another way would be to update the downloader and add a small script to prevent it from adding quotes outside of session hours. Let me know if you want me to give you that script.
