Hello Emma1,

Thanks for your post.

Are you referring to limiting the trading hours of a strategy so that it only trades within a certain timeframe?

If so, see this reference sample that demonstrates implementing a time filter in your script: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...to_limit_t.htm

If this does not resolve your inquiry, please provide a brief description explaining exactly what you mean by 'often sets trade session time manually' so I may accurately assist.

Let me know if I may assist further.

No , it does work . I meant setting Trade session ,example : 'Start Time =12.00', such that user can set different trading hours that are suitable, on loading indicator or Strategy in 'Properties', programmatically . Thank you.

Hello Emma1,

Thanks for your note.

You could use the Inputs and Variables screen of the Strategy Builder to create user-defined time inputs called something like StartTime or EndTime. Then you could create a time filter using those inputs to limit trading hours.

See this help guide page for more information about the Inputs and Variables screen: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...ariablesScreen

See this help guide page for information about how to create a Time Filter: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...ateTimeFilters'

Also, see the attached example script demonstrating this.

Let me know if I may assist further.
