open position if time

[john_robertson00]

Hi,

Is there a way to enter a position only if time is between 6am and 8am?
And exit in 45 mins of entry?

Thanks,
JR

Sure John, you could limit trading hours via a so called TimeFilter, as shown in more detail in the following sample - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ead.php?t=3226

You could check for a specific time to exit or calculate 45 mins from your entry, but as first step working with BarsSinceEntry might be easier - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...BarsSinceEntry

Thx for the link. Looks like I need something like this
// Only trade between 7:45 AM and 1:45 PM
if (ToTime(Time[0]) >= 74500 && ToTime(Time[0]) <= 134500)
{
// Strategy logic goes here
}

Correct, looks good John.
