Date range

Oct 28, 2026, 4:00 PM UTC – Oct 29, 2026, 8:00 PM UTC

• in range
• Days since From

This is how the node looks on the board. It has no inputs; on the right its values go to other nodes.

True between two points in time. Is true while a candle closes between “From” and “Until”. If a field stays empty, the range is open on that side: only “From” means “from then on”, only “Until” means “until then”. With AND a chain passes alerts on only during this time, with NOT in front it mutes them during this time, for example around a rate decision. “Days since From” counts the whole days since “From”. Example: from Oct 28, 6 PM until Oct 29, 10 PM, NOT in front and then AND with your signal: no alerts in the hours around the event. For recurring events such as CPI or the Fed rate decision there is the Event node.

What it looks like

• candle close inside: true
• before and after: false

Three days of 1-hour candles. With “From Monday 12:00” and “Until Wednesday 8:00” the date range is true for the candles that close in that time, “From” included, “Until” no longer. With NOT in front it mutes alerts during that time, with AND it only lets them through then.

Settings

The settings appear on the right under “Properties” once you click the node on the board. Below each field you find the same explanation as here.

From

Default: empty · point in time, shown in your time zone in the editor, stored in UTC

From this point in time the output is true, in your time zone. Empty: always has been.

Until

Default: empty · point in time, shown in your time zone in the editor, stored in UTC

From this point in time the output is false again, in your time zone. Empty: no end.

Example

Blackout around an event: RSI below 30 notifies you by push, but not from Oct 28 at 4 PM until Oct 29 at 8 PM (UTC), for example around a rate decision.

How to connect the nodes:

1. Candle (Price) → RSI (Value)
2. RSI (RSI) → Compare (Value)
3. Date range (in range) → NOT (Signal)
4. Compare (true/false) → AND (Signal 1)
5. NOT (inverted) → AND (Signal 2)
6. AND (all true) → Push (Trigger)

On the board it reads: Oct 28, 2026, 4:00 PM UTC – Oct 29, 2026, 8:00 PM UTC

Inputs and outputs

Only matching types connect: number series to number series (round pin), signal to signal (square), message to message (diamond).

Good to know

• In messages the value is called “Days since From”.
• Search also finds it under: date, date range, event, from until, expiry, blackout, news filter, rate decision, days since.

Technical details

What counts is the time a candle closes. “From” is included, “Until” is not. The times are stored in UTC in the chain; the editor shows them in your time zone. If “Until” lies before “From”, the range is empty. Days since From = ⌊(candle close − From) / 24 h⌋, empty before “From”.
