Trading Hours and orders outside those times

[saltminer]

Hi,
I am wondering if Ninja will send orders outside the times dictated by the TradingHours template.
For example the "CME US Index Futures ETH" template finishes at 4pm and restarts at 5pm.

If a strategy got a signal bang on the end of the session, e.g. at 4pm, and placed a market order to enter, would Ninja immediately place the order, or wait until 5pm?
Is it at all possible that ticks can arrive to the strategy between 4pm and 5pm using this TradingHours template?

Apologies for the basic questions - on this side we are trying to pin down the reason for an 'out of hours' problem with a broker.

Cheers,
saltminer

Hello saltminer,

OnBarUpdate and OnMarketUpdate are data driven. When the time is outside of the hours defined in the Trading hours template, the data stops being driven and these methods do not trigger.

Which means there isn't anything to drive order placement.

Theoretically you could use a timer to continue sending orders though..
