Exclude Early Close trading sessions
maybe? someday?

It would be awesome if there was a checkbox for "exclude early close days". Usually days that are before major holidays.
Fun story:
Yesterday on July 3rd, the automation tool was humming a long, and I wasn't actively watching as I was at my real job :D. But unfortunately I completely missed the fact that it was a 1pm close yesterday. Ended up with a butterfly that automatically opened at 11:15AM per my strategy, and the market was closed by the time I realized what even had happened and ended up with a sure loser and small lesson for myself of the value of paying attention to any major events/logistics in the stock market for an upcoming day.
Being a software engineer myself, it did cause me to think about the work put into each of these filters for a trade and felt like adding specific dates to the filter that already excludes user defined dates could be pretty straightforward.
Loving both the backtesting/automation platform thus far and for the short time I've been using it has ultimately put me in the green :D - Great job guys!

I suspect that most 0 DTE traders would want to avoid opening a trade on days when market closes early. Avoiding days when market closes early could be the default setting when backtesting 0 DTE strategies, and please also offer the option to avoid early market close days in automation.

Jacob Bolton You can use the Blackout Days (ISO format) and the bot will skip the days that you put in that box.
Is this what you have in mind?
