Timed to the second

[GeoOrtiz]

Good morning All,

I'm trying to get NT to submit an order at 9:29:50 AM, but I'm not getting anywhere. I don't have a problem doing it at 9:29 or 9:30 because on 1 minute bars, the bar time stamp is to the minute, not the seconds.

Below is a sample of what I'm trying to do, but it is not working. Any help is greatly appreciated.

CalculateOnBarClose = false;

If (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat
&& DateTime.Now.Ticks == 092950
{
Do This
}

GeoOrtiz,
Thanks for your post. You are really close to what you are looking for. Instead of DateTime.Now.Ticks, use ToTime(DateTime.Now)
So it should look like this.

If (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat && ToTime(DateTime.Now) == 092950)

Thanks for your response Bobby. I tried your suggestion, but unfortunately, it didn't work. I'm running my test on the Market Replay connection. Would that be the problem? The script says "DateTime.Now", so I'm wondering if it is reading the current system time or the Market Replay time.

UPDATE: I changed the script to trade with the current time (to execute at 21:14:50) and it worked!!! Thank you Bobby!

P.S. In the spirit of full disclosure, the script that I just tested had the following modification:

if (&& Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat
&& ToTime(DateTime.Now) >= 211450
&& ToTime(DateTime.Now) <= 211458)

I did this thinking that if on that one second, there was no tick, the order wouldn't be placed. So I gave it 8 seconds to place the order and it worked well.
