Why having exit on session close but no exit on eod close?

[cyjoe]

When I write strategy, I can't find "exit on eod close"?

According to trading hour, one day can be several sessions. If I use exit on session close, it can not do the position exit I wanted. I need exit on eod close. Please advise how I can do it?

Hello cyjoe,

Thanks for your post.

Correct, each session will issue the ExitOnClose.

You can create a time filter to exit your positions when you wish.

if (Time > this and Time < that)
{
ExitLong();
ExitShort();
}

These methods will only activate if there is an actual long or short position.

An overall Flatten all can also be set under Tools>Options>Misc> https://ninjatrader.com/support/help.../?misc_tab.htm

I'd recommend setting up a timer object that checks the exact time you desire,
perhaps 30 seconds before exchange close, and issues the appropriate commands,
as necessary, to flatten your position.

Happy coding!
