Times to run Strategy

[jtfancher]

How do I set a condition in the Wizard that tells the strategy the hours to trade. I want to be able to see the Historical Performance based just on certain hours of the day versus the standard Session Template choices. Thanks.

Hello jtfancher,

It's possible to use the condition builder to define time filters, so that the strategy doesn't enter unless the bar time stamp falls in the range specified. The following link can help you define this:

See the section: How to create time comparisons

More control is possible with custom coding. This reference sample can help with custom coding a time filter:

For historical performance based on hours of the day, you can use the Periods tab after running the strategy in the strategy analyzer.

Intra Bar Order generation with multiple symbols on a chart

I am brand new to Ninja....



Can the Ninja trade management system handle intra-bar order generation with 2 Data Streams (2 symbols on the chart)

Specifically, if Data2 changes by N points within X seconds while Data1 remains unchanged, then generate an order immediately for Data1

Thanks so much,

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the post and welcome to the NinjaTrader forums! Yes, NinjaTrader supports multiple instruments in an automated strategy. There is a sample available in all NT installations. Click Tools > Edit NinjaScript > Strategy > SampleMultiInstrument

Strategies are created using NinjaScript, built with C#, so there is a lot of flexibility in the type of conditions you check for, and you also have the built in .net Date/Time structure.
