On generating trades for next day opening

[Ishwar]

Hi,

My strategy uses End Of Day data and I import this data into NinjaTrader after the market session closes every day. Now, I want to get the generated signals from the strategy so that I can take trades at the Opening on the next day based on the current day's Closing price. How can I do this? Note that I am not subscribed to live Intraday data but only have EoD data.

Currently, if I create a dummy entry for the next day, change my system time to the next day and run the backtest, then I get the signals for the next day. I know this is not the right way and I hope there is a better solution. Could you please suggest what could be done to get the next days signals based on current day's closing price?

Thanks,
Ishwar.

Hello Ishwar,

You must have real-time data to run a NinjaScript Strategy (or even to place manual orders).

On the first bar of the session use PriorDayOHLC().PriorClose[0] to find the close price of the previous session.
