On Date x do this

[richbois]

hi all

I wrote this line of code
if (ToDay(Time[0]) > 20110212) return;

therefore the script should stop running

it does stop running on chart that have less than 4 days of data but continues on charts that have more than 4 days

today is the 16 of feb 2011

any ideas?????

thanks in advance

Hello richbois,

That will look at each bar's date, and then not process any logic if the day integer portion of the date is beyond 20110212.

Let us know what you are seeing happen exactly and what you expect to happen. That line of code will not exit positions, for example.

Hi Ryan Thank you for pronpt response

i am creating an indicator that i want to expire and not be usable after date X

it will print a message on my chart and then return

this line was added at the beginning of the section OnBar Update

I see. Thanks for the reply. In this case it may be better to read from the computer system clock rather than the bar's time stamp. If you're using the bar's time stamp then your indicator function historically for all bars prior to the specified date.

The system clock can be read with DateTime.Now and you can use the NinjaScript method ToDay with it as well.

If you are interested in distributing your indicators commericially, we have a vendor licensing program for qualified partners This includes time based expiration for your scripts. Please contact [email protected] to discuss setting this up.
