Monday or Tues controlls INITIALIZE

[quantismo]

Does anyone know a way to get the all the adds, Plots, ExitOnClose, BarsRequired, SetProfitTarget...etc stuff you would normally put within initialize under the control for example.... if(Time[0].DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Monday)

so that on Mondays you could have a strategy running based on one customized set of adds inside of initialize and on Tuesday have a totally different set of adds?

Maybe this is possible using OnStartUp() somehow?

My goal is to be able to put at least 2 strategies within one algo system that have conflicting settings inside of initialize. but if I can get the conflicting settings to run separately each on a different day so that they will not conflict.

Any advice is appreciated

Thanks Quantismo..

Hello Quantismo,

Thank you for your note.

You would not be able to test for the Time[0] as this has not been built yet on the chart when applying the indicator.

You can use DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek to compare, however I was not able to resolve this into plugging in the correct values that I wanted for the Initialize() and don't believe there is a workaround.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Thanks for checking

Yeah I didn't think there was any work around for this but thanks for replying.
