I am using hourly resolution for the data and currently perform hourly rebalancing. However, I would like to reduce the frequency of rebalancing. What would be the best way to check the backtesting time when the onData function is called, so that I can, for example, make balancing in every two hours (by skipping hours that are odd numbers)? Thanks.

I have done it as follows:
   def OnData(self, data):
       if self.Time.hour % 4 != 0: return

Hi Kamer,
I believe you are rebalancing every 4 hour with your code, and it is a right way to do it. Thanks for sharing your experience to the community!
