position close on close of bar

[mballagan]

Im developing a strategy that enters an position intrabar based on certain conditions. How would I close the position on the close of the bar, for example if its a 30 min bar?

If you're already working intrabar with CalculateOnBarClose = false, then just submit the exit via if (FirstTickOfBar) ... to exit on the open tick of the following bar.

bar exit

Yes I realised that could use this to exit on the first tick of the next bar but is there a way I can exit on the close of the current bar?

Maybe one way of doing this is to calculate the time from trade entry to the close of the bar and exit just prior to the close of the bar?

Yes, this would also be possible with custom coding - either the way you have outlined it or with a custom event trigger - http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/...ead.php?t=5965
