Trying to exit after 2 bars

[ErikHR]

If I do not hit my profit target by or during the second day I want to get out at the end of the day? I am not sure how to code this? This is what I have so far.

Thanks,
Erik

 
  protected override void Initialize() {
[SIZE=2]    SetProfitTarget([/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#a31515][SIZE=2][COLOR=#a31515]"Long Limit Order"[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2], CalculationMode.Percent, 5);[/SIZE]
  }
 
  protected override void OnBarUpdate() {
   if (BarsInProgress != 0) return;
   if (Positions[0].MarketPosition != MarketPosition.Flat && BarsSinceEntry([COLOR=#a31515]"Long Limit Order"[/COLOR]) >= 2) {
    ExitLong([COLOR=#a31515]"Long Limit Order"[/COLOR]);
    return;
   }
   ...
   if (some condition) {
    ...
    if (some condition) {
     EnterLongLimit(100, SomePrice, [COLOR=#a31515]"Long Limit Order"[/COLOR]);
    }
   }
  }

ErikHR,

What you want to do is check the dates. Check the date you entered the market at against the date of the current bar. If it has been two days then you want to place an exit order when a certain time is met. You can do these time and date checks by using Time[0] along with ToDay() and ToTime().

Josh,
I Just have some EOD data loaded into NinjaTrader for learning how to code the tool. Since I am just using EOD Data does this mean that by the time I get to check the values of the Bar (day 2) the best I can do is put in an ExitLong for the next mooring (day 3) until I have more granular data? And when I start getting live data so long as I do not have CalculateOnBarClose = true; set I will be able to put the order in near the end of the day? Am I looking at this right?
Thanks,
Erik

ErikHR,

That is correct.
