turning a strategy on and off with a timer
Is there a way to turn a strategy on at a specific time and then have it stop taking on new positions after a certain time. For example, set the strategy to enable itself at 9:30am est and then stop putting on any new positions after 10am est. So after 10am est it would unwind any positions that are still open using the strategy exit criteria but would no longer take on any new positions after 10am and remain flat for the end of the 24 hour session for that contract. Is this possible with ninjatrader 8?Tags: None

Hello gordongekko,
Thanks for opening the thread.
It would not be possible to programmatically enable a strategy. The recommended approach would be to add time checks to the strategy so actions can be taken at given times, or to stop taking actions after another time. The strategy would then be enabled and take desired actions at the programmed times.
An example strategy that incorporates time checks can be found here - https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...ead.php?t=3226
Closing open positions can be made by calling ExitLong()/ExitShort(). I've included publicly available documentation links below.
ExitLong() - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...s/exitlong.htm
ExitShort() - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help.../exitshort.htm
Please let us know if we can be of further help.JimNinjaTrader Customer Service
