Exit on System time

[sgordet]

I want to exit at 1 minute after my entry, e.g,,
dt1stTradeTime = DateTime.Now;
If (DateTime.Now == dt1stTradeTime.AddMinutes(1))
exitLong();

Does my "if" statement have to be >= rather than == in case the program doesn't run my statement at the exact fraction of a second when the times are equal?

Hello,

Yes you will want to make this change.

Your other option is to get out of OnBarUpdate in this case and use this, which gets a little more complex.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
