## Session
```python
class Session
```
A session is a time period between two `datetime.time` objects specified in utc.
#### Attributes
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|----------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------|
| `start` | `datetime.time` | The start time of the session. | None |
| `end` | `datetime.time` | The end time of the session. | None |
| `on_start` | `Literal['close_all', 'close_win', 'close_loss', 'custom_start']` | The action to take when the session starts. Default is None. | None |
| `on_end` | `Literal['close_all', 'close_win', 'close_loss', 'custom_end']` | The action to take when the session ends. Default is None. | None |
| `custom_start` | `Callable` | A custom function to call when the session starts. Default is None. | None |
| `custom_end` | `Callable` | A custom function to call when the session ends. Default is None. | None |
| `name` | `str` | The name of the session. Default is a combination of start and finish. | |
#### Notes:
The `[close_all, close_win, close_loss]` will affect or open positions in the account irrespective of whether they were
opened during the session or not or even by a strategy using the session. This is because the session is not aware of the
positions opened by the strategy. This will be handled in a future release.
### \_\_init\_\_
```python
def __init__(*,
start: int | time,
end: int | time,
on_start: Literal['close_all', 'close_win', 'close_loss',
'custom_start'] = None,
on_end: Literal['close_all', 'close_win', 'close_loss',
'custom_end'] = None,
custom_start: Callable = None,
custom_end: Callable = None)
```
Create a session.
#### Arguments
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|----------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------|---------|
| `start` | `int` \| `datetime.time` | The start time of the session in UTC. | None |
| `end` | `int` \| `datetime.time` | The end time of the session in UTC. | None |
| `on_start` | `Literal['close_all', 'close_win', 'close_loss', 'custom_start']` | The action to take when the session starts. Default is None. | None |
| `on_end` | `Literal['close_all', 'close_win', 'close_loss', 'custom_end']` | The action to take when the session ends. Default is None. | None |
| `custom_start` | `Callable` | A custom function to call when the session starts. Default is None. | None |
| `custom_end` | `Callable` | A custom function to call when the session ends. Default is None. | None |
| `name` | `str` | The name of the session. Default is None. | None |
### begin
```python
async def begin()
```
Call the action specified in on_start or custom_start.
### close
```python
async def close()
```
Call the action specified in on_end or custom_end.
### action
```python
async def action(action): pass
```
Used by begin and close to call the action specified.
#### Arguments
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|----------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------|---------|
| `action` | `Literal['close_all', 'close_win', 'close_loss', 'custom_start', 'custom_end']` | The action to take. | None |
## Sessions
```python
class Sessions()
```
Sessions allow you to run code at specific times of the day. It is a collection of Session objects.
Sessions are sorted by start time. The sessions object is an asynchronous context manager.
### Attributes:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|-------------------|-----------------|----------------------------|---------|
| `sessions` | `list[Session]` | A list of Session objects. | [] |
| `current_session` | `Session` | The current session. | None |
#### \_\_init\_\_
```python
def __init__(*sessions)
```
Create a Sessions object.
#### Arguments
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|------------|------------------|-----------------------------|---------|
| `sessions` | `tuple[Session]` | A tuple of Session objects. | None |
### find
```python
def find(obj: time) -> Session | None
```
Find a session that contains a datetime.time object.
#### Arguments
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|-------|-----------------|-------------------------|---------|
| `obj` | `datetime.time` | A datetime.time object. | None |
#### Returns
| Type | Description |
|-----------|----------------------------------------|
| `Session` | A Session object or None if not found. |
### find\_next
```python
def find_next(obj: time) -> Session
```
Find the next session that contains a datetime.time object.
#### Arguments
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|-------|-----------------|-------------------------|---------|
| `obj` | `datetime.time` | A datetime.time object. | |
#### Returns
| Type | Description |
|-----------|-------------------|
| `Session` | A Session object. |
### check
```python
async def check(): pass
```
Check if the current session has started and if not, wait until it starts.
### delta

def delta(obj: time) -> timedelta: pass
```
Get the timedelta of a datetime.time object.

### until
