Define a holding period

[gugus]

Hi,

I'm trying to define in my strategy a holding period, which means that after opening a position I want my strategy to sleep for n days and then close the position.
I'm quite new to Ninja and I didn't find a function for that. I imagine that it should be possible to either ask the program to sleep, or to calculate when was the last long/short operation.

Thanks very much for your help!

Hello gugus,

Thank you for your post and welcome to the NinjaTrader Support Forum!

There is no sleep type method in NinjaScript or a way to have the program sleep. However you can calculate the number of days since a position has been opened with DateTime methods in C# and Time in NinjaScript.

For information on Time please visit the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...s/nt7/time.htm

For information on DateTime in C# please visit the following link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr....datetime.aspx

Please let me know if you have any questions.
