Session criteria is ignored

I want to use the Session Criteria for limiting the Strategy in her active time.

As I know it should be working with the Session function, but something with my logic is not right.

i_Handelszeit   = input.session(title="Haupthandelszeit", defval = "0700-2000")

// Check filter(s)
isInSession(_sess) => not na(time(timeframe.period, i_Handelszeit))
f_dateFilter = time >= i_startTime and time <= i_endTime  and isInSession(i_Handelszeit)

// Check buy/sell conditions
buyCondition    = close > ma1 and close < ma2 and strategy.position_size == 0 and f_dateFilter

This code is working but is not limiting the strategy.
enter image description here
In the Image you can see that the Strategy is still working between 20 o’clock and 7 o’clock in the morning.
It is ignored.

>Solution :

It works fine. However, it will work based on your exchange’s timezone and not your local timezone.

I added a bgcolor() to see what’s happening.

If you want to use a custom timezone, you can use the third argument of time() which is timezone.

time(timeframe, session, timezone) → series int

timezone (series string) Timezone of the session argument. Can only
be used when a session is specified. Optional. The default is
syminfo.timezone. Can be specified in GMT notation (e.g. "GMT-5") or
as an IANA time zone database name (e.g. "America/New_York").
