    How can you place a stop order on or near the close for the next day's open?

    Hello,

    I am looking for some way to identify, inside my NinjaScript, that I am at the end of the current trading day. I would like to place a stop order at that time, that can be executed, at the earliest, on the open of the following trading day.

    I could possibly check OnBarUpdate() of the 1 Minute Bars and see if Time[0] = ClosingTimeOfTheMarket, then place the stop order for the next day, but the problem is that there may be no trading for the last few minutes, and so Time[0] might never equal ClosingTimeOfTheMarket on a given trading day.

    Also, I can't find any custom NinjaScript events like "OnClose()".

    What are my options for placing a stop order at or near the end of the day, for execution on the next day, at the earliest?

    Thank you very much in advance!

    Hello,

    Try using a condition like this:

    if(ToTime(Time[0]) > 140000)

    Set your time for after market hours so that your order is placed on the market open.

    Note: This will only place the trade if there are some after market data. If you receive no after market data then it will not process your logic.
