When - Time of Day - equals to - 9:45

[Karthik S]

Dear OptionStack Team,

Is there an option to enter a trade based on the Calendar and Time of Day? 

For example, I would like to buy SPX Strangle at 9:45 and sell it at 15:45. 

I am building a strategy based on the time of entry and exit. Please advice.

Thank you.
