Forcing time delays?

[Burga1]

Greetings,

Is it possible to setup a time delay/pause? I'd like to "pause" NT for a short period of time within a strategy (maybe a few minutes). A command like "Sleep(X);" seems to cause an error.

Thank you.

Unfortunately this is not supported.

Note: You NEVER should code something like Sleep() in NinjaScript, since this could throw off NT internal logic.

Thanks for the reply. If a command like Sleep is not permissable, how do people normally "delay" their strategies?

I simply want to "wait" for some outside (of NT) process to complete, then "continue" on with the strategy as some data from the outside process will be required to be "read into" the strategy to continue.

Check out this sample which uses a timer: http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/v...ead.php?t=5965
