Custom daily Open and Closeing Prices

[james22395]

Hi everyone,

Was wondering if anyone could lend a hand with a little problem I’m having. I'm trying to run 24 hour data and define my own daily open and closing prices, to then reference for trading. Running on Minute bars.


Id like to be able to change times I choose to state the myopen and myclose for optimisation purposes, this is why I’m not just doing this within session manager.

For example im stuck here,

private int my_Closing_time = 203001
private int my_Close = 0

        protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
            if (ToTime(Time[0]) == my_Closing_time)
            {
            my_Close = Close[0] ;
            }
       }

Error generated:
CS0135 - when I try to reference my_Close to place orders.


Thanks in advance if youre able to help, Im new to NS, moved from EasyLanguage.

Hello james22395,

Below is a link to the Strategy Wizard 301 course for NinjaTrader 7 which demonstrates a time filter.

As well as a link to the reference sample in the help guide.

What is the error message you are getting?


If this is the first time you are using NinjaTrader, I would recommend our current flagship application NinjaTrader 8.

my_close should be a double, not an int.
You also need semi colons at end of statements defining your variables.
