Compare bar time to session end time

[GuyFB]

I am trying to not submit an order at the end of a trading session time (which is set in the strategy Time Frame parameter list). I tried the following if statement but received an error that said I could not compare the two. How would I do this?

if (ToTime(Time[0]) == Bars.SessionEnd.TimeOfDay)

if (ToTime(Time[0]) == ToTime(Bars.SessionEnd))

Hi,
I tried implementing the code you mentioned above but am getting the following error:

'NinjaTrader.Data.Bars' does not contain a definition for 'SessionEnd' and no extension method 'SessionEnd' accepting a first argument of type 'NinjaTrader.Data.Bars' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Can you please advise? I would like to be able to have my system stop trading before end of day. (Dont want to use 4pm comparison as some sessions end earlier)
Thx

nightriderx, are you attempting to work with this snippet in 6.5 or 7?

with NT7
thx!

Ok, for NT7 please use this revised method of accessing the session begin / end times of the applied session template you're using -

With respect, Bertrand, y'all need to correct that link. I've been told that NT7 should not use Bars.SessionBreak but should use Bars.FirstBarOfSession instead.

Lost Trader,

It has already been corrected for the next Help Guide version.
