Can I define the "Time to flatten" for the "Exit on Close" in the NinjaScript?

[dleekk]

I was told that in "Tools-->Options-->Misc-tab", I can enter 'Time to flatten'.
The 'Exit On Close' function will use the time entered here as session close.


My question is that
What if I have an instrument with market close at 2:00pm and another instrument with market close at 4:00pm? Can I define the "Time to flatten" in the NinjaScript strategy?

Anyone can help?

dleekk,

Please see this post: http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/...06&postcount=5

ExitOnCloseSeconds is what you want.

Thanks

I am aware of the "ExitOnClose" and "ExitOnCloseSeconds". However, the "ExitOnClose" function will use the time entered in the "Time to flatten" field as the closing time.

Imagine I am trading on multiple instruments. 1 instrument has closing on 14:00 and another instrument has closing on 16:00. Then I will have trouble defining "Time to flatten" and "ExitOnCloseSeconds" if my goal is to close-out all positions 60sec before market close for all the instruments that I trade.

Unfortunately this would not be supported.

I find this thread, which I think can solve my problem.

Have a look at this:

It's an "all or nothing", so if you have staged timeframes between your instruments, then you are out of luck using this method. You may however find it helpful.

You are own your own, NT will not support you for this. Try at your own risk.

I think it's the same as the "Flatten Everything" command found on the menu.

Thanks
