I tried using the DateTime constructor and passing algorithm.Time date values plus the hour and minute values for right before close but that didn't work, got messages saying the date was in the past.

Hey Fabien,
We can create insights with specific expiration DateTimes. We can set our insights to expire at 2 minutes before market close, so that our algorithm can submit liquidate targets at 3:59 PM.
var now = algorithm.Time; // close insight 2 minutes before market close var nextClose = algorithm.Securities[symbol].Exchange.Hours.GetNextMarketClose(algorithm.Time, false).AddMinutes(-2); var insight = Insight.Price(symbol, close, InsightDirection.Up);I've attached a simple example of this in action. In the example, I also restricted the algorithm to create insights for a symbol only if that symbol hasn't yet been invested in and to not create insights if the current time is after 3:58 PM.
