Closing time depending on a chosen parameter

[Radagast]

I would like to know which string add to my strategy to make it closes automatically every open position depending on a parameter of my choice.
es
if the parameter is true the system must close positions at 12:00, reactivate at 13:00 and close positions at 21:00
if that parameter is false must close positions only at 21:00

thanks for any help

Hello Radagast,

Thank you for your post.

You can use DateTime objects to ensure you only trade within certain time periods. These can also be used to close any open positions from your strategy.

For a reference sample on this matter please visit the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ead.php?t=3226

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

You can download an example at the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ead.php?t=3226

Download the file to your desktop > then in NinjaTrader go to File > Utilities > Import NinjaScript > select the file on your desktop > Open.

Once imported you will view the script by going to Tools > Edit NinjaScript > Strategy > SampleTimeFilter > OK.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

so if i understand correctly this is the string that i must add to my strategy in order to disable it in the period between 14:00-15:00 and after 21:00

if ((ToTime(Time[0]) >= 93000 && ToTime(Time[0]) < 140000) || (ToTime(Time[0]) >= 150000 && ToTime(Time[0]) < 210000))

is this ok?
this string also close all the order pending?
if it doesn't how can i close all the order pending at a chosen time?

It would also depend on what you have following up this if statement.

This if statement only checks your condition. It does not exit existing trades by itself.

For information on managing orders: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...er_methods.htm

The filter you typed reads as this

if ( the current bar time is between 9:30 and 14:00 OR the current bar time is between 15:00 and 21:00)
//do something

If you wanted to take trades here you would put your trade logic.
If you wanted to exit trades outside of these times you would need to setup a different condition to check to see if the time was between those hours and exit open positions if not flat
