    // Get the current time
    currentTime = time_close[0]
    
    // Set the reminder time based on the input value
    reminderTime = input(24, minval=1, title="Reminder Time (Minutes)")

    longTime = seconds_since_time(tickerid, "09:30", "", 0, 1)
    closeTime = seconds_since_time(tickerid, "16:00", "", 0, 1)

    if (tradingDay == true) and (time >= longTime) and (time <= closeTime) and (weekday() >= 1) and (weekday() <= 5)
        // Calculate the time to the reminder
        timeToReminder = seconds_since_time(tickerid, currentTime, "", 0, 1) + reminderTime * 60
    else
        // Do not show reminders on weekends or outside trading hours
        timeToReminder = false
