enter positions x days prior to specific dates

[wahooj]

Hello,

I'm trying to enter and exit a position x number of days prior and after a specific date. I have the exit condition working but not the enter. Here's what i have so far.

#region Variables
// Wizard generated variables
private int entD = 1; // Default setting for EntD
private int extD = 1; // Default setting for ExtD

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
// Condition set 1
if (ToDay(Time[0]) - EntD == 20091105 )
{
EnterLong(DefaultQuantity, "Ent1");
}

// Condition set 2
if (ToDay(Time[0]) - ExtD > 20091105 )
{
ExitLong("DefaultQuantity", "Ent1");
}
}

Thanks

wahooj, please add a visual check to your entry to see if the condition evaluates to 'true' at all, was this a valid trading day and do you have data for this day present?

Bertrand,

I see what's is happening. I do have data for my specific dates. If my variable days lands on a weekend or holiday it will skip those days and execute on the next available trading, which is fine.
There is one issue though. If I set the exit variable to extend into the next month it will only exit on the first day of the month. So, if the last day of any given month is the 30th and my variable wants to exit on the 2nd of the following month it tries to exit on the 32nd, which doesn't exist.
How can i fix that?

wahooj, you will probably have to start working directly with the DateTime objects. There is a reference sample that deals with manipulating DateTime objects, which will probably help you on your quest.
