Pinescript Strategy Tester TIME range

I’ve managed to pretty much write a whole strategy on TradingView with a time stamp that is able to filter out a range of dates for example 1st January 2023 to 17th January 2023 and backtest my strategy within these days.

I wanted to find out if there is a way to make this strategy even better by selecting a real time range. For example only trade between 08:30am and 13:00pm on the days within the date range.

This is probably really long winded for what I’m asking.

TL;DR How do I add a time range (HH:MM) to my strategy so backtested trades are within a certain time

I’ve searched online but can’t find anything apart from a day range, however, I’m looking for a time range within this day range.

You are looking for a session.

You can do it by getting a session input from the user and checking if the current time is within that time window.

An example from the F.A.Q:

timeAllowed = input.session("1200-1500", "Allowed hours")
timeIsAllowed = time(timeframe.period, timeAllowed + ":1234567")

Then use timeIsAllowed as your entry and/or your exit condition.
