How to program stop on close at close price

[foxido]

Hi all, wondering if somebody could please help me with a small issue i'm having in the Ninjascript development on a strategy that uses daily data only.

My strategy generates a stop order everyday based on a historical indicator. I should be able to fill that stop order if the current daily bar has its low < stop order, and its high > stop order. If both these conditions are true, then I simply want to be filled at the stop level and then exit my position at the end of the day at the bar close.

I want to stick with daily data, not intraday, and this should be possible to implement, but so far I am having no luck. I have tried setting 'exit on close' to true but that doesn't help, I have also tried setting an exit condition based on the current bar being <> previous bar, but that also failed.

Any simple solutions to this? Thank you for your help and time!

foxido, welcome to our forums and thanks for the post - unfortunately you would need to work with intraday data in this case to be able to submit orders to a finer timeseries to exit on the close or slightly before it. The general concept can be reviewed here -

For realtime trading, you could also program a time condition into the strategy and set CalculateOnBarClose to false -
