stop the scan after 15 mins of the open

[JoeVrec]

Guys
I run a scanner everyday for certain stocks and conditions ....How can I stop the scan after 15 mins of the open ?
I would like to get my 4...5 stocks and and not get any more data after 15 mins
Thanks,

I can't say exactly without seeing the code. I would also need to know the aggregation you plan on using, and whether or not you plan on enabling extended hours. Here is a very generic template of how you could do it. It should return stocks that were between $10.00 and $10.20 within those first 15 minutes, and then hold those stable for the rest of the day. Run it on 5 minute bars.

def Date =
    GetYYYYMMDD();
def Start =
    RegularTradingStart(Date);
def End =
    Start + AggregationPeriod.FIFTEEN_MIN;
def TimeZone =
    Between(GetTime(), Start, End);
def BaseCondition =
    close > 10 and close < 10.20;
def FullCondition =
    if TimeZone and BaseCondition then yes
    else if TimeZone then no
    else FullCondition[1];
plot Scan =
    FullCondition;
