Enter positions on Next Bar Close

[jalsck]

Hi,

Can NinjaTrader Strategies be configured to enter long/short positions on the close of the next bar?

Thanks,

James

Hello,
Through using custom logic you would be able do this.
One process that I can think of is adding in a variable that you assign to CurrentBar and then check when the CurrentBar is equal to this value + 1.
For example:
private int myBar
if(Conditions is true)
CurrentBar = myBar;
if(myBar == CurrentBar - 1)
//The next bar has occurred.

Thanks Cody that makes sense.

Shouldn't myBar be initialized to CurrentBar first?

Never mind: private int myBar is within the vaiables region...

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, bltdavid. Here is an edited version of the above code.

[FONT=Courier New]private int myBar;
private bool Conditions = false;
if(Conditions)
  myBar = CurrentBar;
if(myBar == CurrentBar - 1)
{
  myBar = 0;
  //The next bar has occurred.
}
