Enter at a specific time?

[rbrahy]

Can a trade entry have a specific time? For example, enter long at 8:59:50 at 1041?

To be exact - I would like to have the script enter a trade at 50 seconds into a certain time period. Not at the end of a close bar.

Thank you

Market orders trade almost immediately, so if you mean triggering a trade, sure, just add a conditional statement to your trade logic trigger that also checks the current time.

You could use the C# .NET methods such as DateTime, but NT provides TimeTo() in the library...

There's an time example in the reference samples section here on the forum.

rbrahy, it is definitely possible to do that. What you might want to look into is using a timer object to fire off events. You can check what the time is every OnBarUpdate() and then just calculate how long until your desired entry time and then have the timer fire that far away. It would also be helpful to look into DateTime objects and how to manipulate them.

Perfect... Thank you for the information and resource. I appreciate it.
