suspended

suspended(): int

Returns 0 when trading is allowed, otherwise the current status of suspended trading.

Returns:

0	Trades can be entered.
1	Before the first valid bar (plus lookback period) of the current asset, or after the last valid bar
2	Before the WFO data horizon or inside a SKIP period.
4	Inside a time frame.
8	Outside market hours.
16	[Stop] button was clicked.

The numbers can be combined, f.i. 12 = 4+8 = inside a time frame and outside market hours.

Remarks:

If a trade is entered despite suspended() returned nonzero, the position will not be opened, but a "Skipped" message will be printed in the log.

Example:

// don't shift series outside market hours
if(suspended()&8) set(NOSHIFT); else set(NOSHIFT|OFF);
