BarTimer

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

Is there anyway I can use the BarTimer indicator part of a condition for my strategy?

Basically I want to exit if the current bar is 10 seconds away from closing.

Unfortunately not. You would need to mimic the BarTimer implementation in your strategy.

I assume that you use CalculateOnBarClose=false.
I have seen an earlier post in this forum in the sense of
PercentageBarComplete
Do not know wether this is the correct way of writing

The disadvantage is that when the market is slow (few ticks) you do not know at what time the order is issued.

oo ceevsh. The exact syntax according to the help file is Bars.PercentComplete. I think the instruments I am working on are volatile enough to not need to worry about few ticks.

I was just about to try and modify BarTimer to plot the time remaining so I could simply go BarTimer.Time[0] or something to that effect. No need anymore. Thanks for the idea.
