Time in position

[siroki]

Hi,

Is there an easy way to retrieve the time that a position has been open? Example: trade opened at 08:00, currently 11:15 .. Return 195 minutes.

I know I could create variables and store but maybe NT has native support for this?

Thanks

Hello siroki,

Thank you for your post.

There is an average trade duration (http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...deduration.htm) but tracking the duration of an open position would need to be done manually.

You can track the order filled via OnExecution() and then track the time using a variable and storing Time[0] at the time of fill. Then compare the variable for the time of fill against Time[0] to know the value of the duration of the position.

For information on OnExecution() please visit the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...nexecution.htm
For information on Time please visit the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...s/nt7/time.htm

Please let me know if you have any questions.
