Save position overnight

[AlexFdv]

Dear support,

I continue programming on ninjatrader and for the current moment I can't find the answer for my next question: Is it possible to open position at the END of trading day, and then close it at the START of the next trading day, and then continue execution of my main strategy logic depending of how much money I earned or lost after that night trade?
Thank you for your help in advance!

Hello AlexFdv,
To assist you further may I know are you trying to backtest your straegy or testing it in real time/market replay.

Hi NinjaTrader_Joydeep,
I'm going to trade real time, but it would be great to have possibility make some backtesting as well.

Hello AlexFdv,
Thanks for the clarification.

Yes, you can submit the entry order at the last bar of the session using the below unsupported code.

Bars.LastBarOfSession

You can also find the session end time using the below code

Bars.Session.GetNextBeginEnd

You can close your trade at the day open on the next day by using the below code.

if (FirstTickOfBar && Bars.FirstBarOfSession)
{
   //do something
}

However you will not be able to backtest it, since in backtest the orders are submitted at the end of the bar. Thus the order evaluated on the end of the session will be submitted on the next days opening bar in backtest.
