Strategy only between certain times?

[birdog]

Hi, how to I make the strategy only fire between specific times between only Monday-Friday? For example, between 9:30 am est and 3:30 pm est Mon-Friday only?

Also, is there a way to have it exclude USA holidays between Mon-Friday as well?



Thanks folks...

birdog,

Here is a reference sample on using time filters :

You can also include holidays but likely you would need to define these ahead of time. Here is a thread on this :

After I upon, compile, and save, it does not show up a option in the condition builder to choose from or as a strategy available in NT. Could you let me know how I can integrate this into my current strategy so I can set it to trade only certain times of week, times of the day, etc ?

I see there is time selections built right into the condition builder, but I have used multiple configurations and when I backtest with the built in time value in NT my results are always zero to date.

I have done this in the past but I can not remember what I did and to make it trade only certain days and times...

The easiest way possible to do this within condition builder would be of great help...smile...thanks...

birdog,

The "Do not trade on holidays" part may be a bit more difficult to do in the Strategy Wizard, since holidays are not known by NinjaTrader ahead of time. These must be set internal in the strategy and may muddle up some of your conditions. What you could do is add this part after you have your completed strategy in the Wizard through code.

Please find some screenshots for a time filter that does not allow trading outside of 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
