Building a strategy and was looking for an easy way to command the strat to close out all positions at the end of RTH, or even better at a set time each day. Thank you in advance.

Here is my positioning code snippet for thinkscript, feel free to use and modify to fit your needs:

 
Code
input mode = {default reverse, normal, other};

def bullish;
def bearish;
def entryPriceS;
def entrypriceL;

switch (mode) { 
case reverse: 
    bullish = 1;
    bearish = 5;
    entryPriceS = 2;
    entrypriceL = 3;
case normal:
    bearish = 4;
    bullish = 2;
    entryPriceS = 7;
    entrypriceL = 5;
case other:
    bearish = 4;
    bullish = 4;
    entryPriceS = 2;
    entrypriceL = 0;
}
;

def signalUP = bullish and !bullish[1];
def signalDN =  bearish and !bearish[1];
def LX = signalDN;
def SX = signalUP;
input usetimefilter = yes;

#positioning
input rthopen = 0400;
input rthclose = 2000;
def RTH = if usetimefilter == yes then if SecondsFromTime(rthopen) >= 0 and
               SecondstillTime(rthclose) >= 0
            then 1
            else 0 else 1;

AddOrder(OrderType.buy_AUTO,rth == 1 and signalup, entrypriceL, tickcolor = GetColor(6), arrowcolor = GetColor(4), name = "LE");
AddOrder(OrderType.SELL_AUTO,rth == 1 and signaldn, entrypriceS, tickcolor = GetColor(6), arrowcolor = GetColor(5), name = "SE");

AddOrder(OrderType.BUY_TO_CLOSE, rth == 0, tickcolor = GetColor(4), arrowcolor = GetColor(3), name = "EODExit");
AddOrder(OrderType.SELL_TO_CLOSE, rth == 0, tickcolor = GetColor(4), arrowcolor = GetColor(3), name = "EODExit");

AddOrder(OrderType.BUY_TO_CLOSE, rth == 1 and SX, tickcolor = GetColor(4), arrowcolor = GetColor(3), name = "SX");
AddOrder(OrderType.SELL_TO_CLOSE, rth == 1 and LX, tickcolor = GetColor(4), arrowcolor = GetColor(3), name = "LX");
#end of code
