How to Trigger a code execution on Start of the Trading Day

[gbajaj]

Hi,

I want to execute few lines of code right after market opens e.g. check if price opened below yesterday's high etc.
What is the way to detect that?
I am building a strategy that uses multi-data Series.

Please let me know if you have any question!

Thanks

Hello gbajaj,

Thanks for your post.

If you would like to execute code when right after the market opens, you could use Bars.IsFirstBarOfSession to determine if the current bar processing is the first bar updated in a trading session.

In a multi-timeframe/multi-instrument script, you could use a BarsInProgress check to determine if the added series is processing and then check if Bars.IsFirstBarOfSession to determine if the current bar processing is the first bar of that added series.

See the help guide documentation below for more information.
