Hello,
Thank you for your post.
Can you clarify a little further on what you are looking for with your strategy?
I look forward to your reply.

Mainly it is just that. I want to open a buy limit to 5 or 10 ticks above where the price and at a specific time, ie at 8am, 8:30 a.m., etc ...

Thanks.

Hello,
You could create a check using the ToTime() method to compare when the Time of the Current Bar is equal to 8:00AM. Within that check you would create an action to submit the order. You would not be able to submit a buy limit order above the market price however you could submit a stop order above the market price.
I have provided an example of how you could do this below:

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
    if(ToTime(Time[0]) == ToTime(8, 0, 0))
		EnterLongStop(Close[0] + 5 * TickSize);
}

I would recommend to review the following links as well:

• ToTime() method
• Time[]
• Order Methods

Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Ok thank you very much, give me only needed to choose when I want, ie 8:30 a.m., 8:44 a.m., 9:02 a.m., etc, also you can also choose it to 5 ticks price, 6, 7 or 10 ticks, etc., above the price.

Thanks again.

Excuse me, you could tell me how to do to put any hour, ie 8h, 8.33h, etc. And also ticks the distance in which I want to rise above the price? I want to change the parameters of the strategy at the time and distance I choose.

Thank you.

Hello,
The ToTime(8, 0 , 0) portion of the example is where you would enter the time. This translates to 8:00:00AM. If you wanted to do 8:33AM you would use ToTime(8, 0, 0).

The portion of the example that shows how you can do 5 ticks above the closing price is within the order entry method Close[0] + 5 * TickSize. If you wanted to do 6 ticks above you would do Close[0] + 6 * TickSeze.

If you have any further questions please let us know.

Hello again, I managed to make it work me but I will not open orders at the exact time and execute commands before, if for example I want to open my order at 22:45:15 as it should place the code?

Thanks again.

[NinjaTrader_CodyB]

Hello,
I have provided an example below of how you could submit a long market order at 22:45:15.

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if(ToTime(Time[0]) == ToTime(22, 45, 15)
EnterLong();
}

If we can be of any other assistance please let us know.

Ok, and if what I want is to change the time from the parameters to change the time in a more comfortable way? as it should be done? I send you a screenshot. Thanks and regards.

Hello,
You can achieve what you are seeing in that screenshot by using a public TimeSpan variable. I have provided an example below of how you could use TimeSpan.

protected override void Initialize()
{
         MyTimeSpan = new TimeSpan(8, 0, 0);
         CalculateOnBarClose = true;
}

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
         if(Time[0].TimeOfDay == MyTimeSpan)
         {
                  Print(MyTimeSpan.ToString());
         EnterLong();
         }
}

         #region Properties         
         [XmlIgnore()]
         [Description("TimeSpan")]
         [GridCategory("Parameters")]
         public TimeSpan MyTimeSpan
         {get; set;}
         [Browsable(false)]
         public string MyTimeSpanSerialize {
         get { return MyTimeSpan.ToString(); }
         set { MyTimeSpan = TimeSpan.Parse(value); }
}

Ok thanks, but I think perhaps I have not explained well. It is the same as is in Spain or London, what I mean is to manipulate time through the parameters of the strategy. I want to put an hour without having to edit the strategy in the same way that I can easily touch the stop loss or take profit.

Thank you.

Hello,
The example that I provided will allow you to set the time from the strategy parameters.

Hello,

Hello again. The code that you passed me to write the date on the parameters gives an error. Tell me something please.
Greetings.
