Auto-trade entry based on High or Low for a Time Period

[centrino2]

Hello,

I would like to program an auto-trade system to do the following for an instrument:

{
Enter long if the highest high from 4:00 AM to 7:00 AM is broke after 7:00 AM
Or
Enter short if the lowest low from 4:00 AM to 7:00 AM is broke after 7:00 AM
}

Would someone be able to help me with the programming?

Thanks so much

Hello centrino2,

This can be achieved with a time filter. We have an example of this type of programming in the help guide.

Thanks for the feedback.

I agree the time filter would be helpful. I was looking at examples and was unable to extract the following zip file:

SampleGetHighLowByTimeRange

Would someone be able to paste the reference code from this zip file?

The link is under “Reference Samples” then “Indicator” then “Calculating the highest high or lowest low for a specfic time range”.

Thanks so much

Hello centrino2,

The script you have provided is for NinjaTrader 7.

To import a script into NinjaTrader 7 do the following:

1. Download the script to your desktop, keep it in the compressed .zip file.
2. From the Control Center window select the menu File > Utilities > Import NinjaScript
3. Select the downloaded .zip file
4. NinjaTrader will then confirm if the import has been successful.

Critical *Note that on any files that say "File already exists on your PC" that start with an "@" symbol are the ones that came preloaded inside of NinjaTrader so you would say "No" so that you do not override those files.


Also, just in case, I am including a link to the help guide where you can find the NinjaTrader 8 version of this script.

To import a NinjaScript into NinjaTrader 8 do the following:

1. Download the script to your desktop, keep it in the compressed .zip file.
2. From the Control Center window select Tools -> Import -> NinjaScript...
3. Click the Desktop icon on the left to navigate to the desktop
4. Select the downloaded .zip file -> then click Open
5. NinjaTrader will then confirm if the import has been successful.
