How to exit trades at set day of week and time

[demo166130]

Just trying to use the Strategy Builder to say exit all open trades on Friday's at 9:45

Hello demo166130
Thanks for your post.

You could create a time filter and then exit your positions when the time is reached. There is a sample of how to create a time filter inside the Strategy Builder located in our help guide.

Even though you are creating this strategy in the Strategy Builder, it may be of help to look at the following code sample. This sample demonstrates how to limit trading hours with a time filter.

Let me know if you have any questions.

I'm having a few issues. I've attached what I've done so far, please take a look and let me know your thoughts.

demo166130,

Nothing stands out from what I see here. What seems to be the issue?

[demo166130]

I watched a trade which entered on a Friday and carried over the weekend meaning the logic hasn't had the intended effect

demo166130,

I looked at your screenshots again and I see that your condition that tests for Friday is never going to be true. It looks like you may be comparing Friday to a Time Series instead of a Date Series.

It should look something like my screenshot to create a condition for Friday.

I changed this and it still made no difference. I decided to try and exit trades during lots of times of day and it also made zero difference. The chances that I'm doing something wrong here are far far more likely than there's some weird error in the system. I've attached another image, curious to see what you think.

demo166130,

The field from your screenshot is there because you added another data series.

Are you testing this in the Strategy Analyzer?

[demo166130]

Yes, is what you just saw looking correct?

[demo166130]

Do I need to use a signal name here?

[NinjaTrader_JoshG]

demo166130,

You do not need to include the signal name in this case.

Can you post the .cs file for your strategy here?

[demo166130]

Sure, where abouts is the strategy cs file located? I will get it over to you

That would be in your \Documents\NinjaTrader 8\bin\Custom\Strategies\ folder

Here you go.
