Indicator update script help needed

[35trader]

I want to update an indicator at session end, or a defined period immediately after session end, so I don't have to wait for the next session and nextbar to trigger the update. I also want it to update even if I startup after the specified time yet still prior to the next session start or nextbar.

Can this be achieved with GetNextBeginEnd or any other work around?

I would appreciate a sample script for an explanation.

thanks

Hello,

You can use your own custom trigger event to trigger an update at a user defined interval:

We have a reference sample which uses TriggerCustomEvent() to output information at a specific interval:

Its currently done OnBarUpdate() for example on a 1 hour interval during a session, but I want it updated at session end also, instead of waiting for the next session to start.
I'm not a programmer so I need a firm answer indicating what options one can use to achieve it.

Hello,

You can create a custom timer event to trigger at the end of the session.

You can use GetNextBeginEnd to get the DateTime value at the end of the session to pass into your timer.

We do not have a specific sample that I can provide to you, but this should help get you started.

If you have limited time or programming capabilities, you can discuss your requirements with any of our certified NinjaScript consultants.
