Exit on close

[2Look4me]

Hi,
I have the following script, but it didn't seem to work for holiday hours? Anything else needs to be included?

ExitOnClose = true;
ExitOnCloseSeconds = 900;

Thanks

This property returns true if the strategy will exit on close; otherwise, false. Your Strategy has to be added(function) for 'ExitOnclose' to work

Hello 2Look4me,

Thanks for your post.

NinjaTrader 7 Session Templates do not define holiday trading hours so ExitOnSession close will not have an earlier time to exit.

NinjaTrader 8 Trading Hours templates do have holiday hours included and will exit at the holiday session close.

If you would like to have this behavior done programmatically with NinjaTrader 7, the script must know when the new Exit On Session Close time should be and the strategy should take those actions on its own.

Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.

Thanks Jim for the prompt reply. Something along this line?

if (ToDay(Time[0]) == 20181123 && ToTime(Time[0]) >= 115000 && Position.MarketPosition != MarketPosition.Flat)
{
if ( Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long )
{
ExitLong();
}
else
{
ExitShort();
}
}

Hello 2Look4me,

Yes, this would be a valid time check which will exit your open position once an iterating bar has a time stamp after 11:50:00.

Let us know if there is anything else we can do to help.
