Trade by time

[Zhorny]

Hi NT,

I would like to create a strategy that looks at bar time and decide to trade (pls note this looks at Renko Bars)

i.e.

IF Close1 was formed less than 55 seconds from Close0 -- then ACTION (BUY/SELL).

Is this possible in the strategy building on board the platform?

Cheers,

Z

Hello Zhorny,

Thank you for your inquiry.

This would involve custom programming and you would not be able to do it in the Strategy Wizard.

Here's an example of what you could do:

System.TimeSpan difference = Time[0] - Time[1];
double seconds = difference.TotalSeconds;

if (seconds < 55)
     {
          // logic
     }

For more information on Time, please take a look at the NinjaTrader help guide at this link: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt7/?time.htm
