How to call time in ninjascript?

[AdeptistJune]

How do I write "If time >= 0830 and time <= 1200" in ninjacript?

Thanks.

Hello AdeptistJune,

if (ToTIme(Time[0]) > 083000 && ToTime(Time[0]) <= 120000)

Below is a link to forum post with helpful information about getting started with NinjaScript in NinjaTrader 7. I recommend the Strategy Wizard 301 video.

Thanks a lot.

When I tried to compile the code, it says: The name "ToTime" does not exist in the current content.

What does this mean?

Hello AdeptistJune,

Below is a link to the help guide on ToTime(). It is a valid method for indicators and strategies.

Did you add this within OnBarUpdate()?

Try using the strategy wizard to generate the condition.

May I have a screenshot of the error?

I deleted the indicator.

Give me a second to re-create it.

[AdeptistJune]

I created an indicator in Tradestation's easylanguage: Var:
HighLowRange(0),
BreakoutHigh(0), BreakoutLow(0),
HighestClose(0), LowestClose(0);

If time >= 0830 and time <= 1200 then
begin

BreakoutHigh = highest(high,15);
BreakoutLow = Lowest(low,15);
HighestClose = Highest(Close,15);
LowestClose = Lowest(Close,15);

end;

HighLowRange = BreakoutHigh - BreakoutLow;

plot14(Breakouthigh,"HourBreakoutHigh",blue);
plot15(BreakoutLow,"HourBreakoutLow",Red);
plot16(HighestClose,"HighestClose",magenta);
plot17(LowestClose,"LowestClose",Green);

I would like to create this same indicator in ninjascript.

Hello AdeptistJune,

I wouldn't be able to help with the EasyLanguage code.

But it is possible to add a plot in an indicator.

Below is a link to the help guide on AddPlot().

And the Value series / collection of Values series.

I still can't get my code to compile. I set a screenshot of the error message.

Do you have any suggestions?

The spelling , if (ToTIme(Time[0]) > 083000 && ToTime(Time[0]) <= 120000). The First 'ToTIme' needs to corrected to 'ToTime'. I hope this helps.

Emma,

You were correct about the correction in the script. Now, I'm receiving this error message.

[Emma1]

Are you coding in NinjaScript 7 or 8?.'Highbreakout ' is not a reserved word. It needs to be declare before its is used within the code.

[AdeptistJune]

I'm coding in NinjaScript 8. But do I declare it as a private or public var? And where do I declare it?

And thank you so much for helping me out. I only know to code in easylanguage. This is my first day with Ninja Trader.
