certain time frame but want to finish trade

[cChris]

Hi!

I'm new to all this and trying to put my first few strategies togehter.

As an example: I'd like to trade an MA cross between 9 PM and 1 AM. After 1 AM, I don't want to enter any more trades, but I do want to wait until the next cross occurs and then get out.

Right now the system gets me in between 21:00 and 01:00 but then after 01:00 it doesn't get me out anymore. What do I have to do to get it to finish the trade, even though the close comes after my time limit?

Also I'm getting an Exit on Close at midnight that is right in my trading time. How do I change that to a time like 5 or 6 PM when I'm not trading?

Thanks!
Chris

cChris,

Welcome to the NinjaTrader Forums. To do what you want please take a look at this reference sample for time filters: http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/v...ead.php?t=3226

What you want to do is limit the trading hours of your entry orders, but not the hours of your exit orders. Put your ExitLong() methods outside of the if statement that creates the time filter.

In regards to Exit on Close, it exits your positions at the session end. The session end is defined by your Chart Properties. You can change this by double clicking on your chart and changing the Session End time to whatever you want.
