Hello SuperDude123,

Thanks for your post.

I understand that you would like to exit an order at the end of the current candle that the order was opened on.

This could be accomplished by creating a condition that checks if IsFirstTickOfBar = True and calling your Exit order method, such as ExitLong().

IsFirstTickOfBar lets us know that the current bar is closed and the current tick is the first tick of a new bar.

See this help guide page for more information about IsFirstTickOfBar: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...ttickofbar.htm

Let us know if we may assist further.

Thank you for answering
I will be doing this in strategies builder. For example.
3ema crossabove 9ema enter long. (5m candle)
then exit when this candle finish. So basically I want to exit on the same candle I enter.

Hello SuperDude123,

Thanks for your note.

You would need to create a Strategy Builder strategy that uses Calculate.OnEachTick. Then, you could use IsFirstTickOfBar as mentioned in post # 2.

IsFirstTickOfBar could be found in the Misc folder when creating a condition in the Strategy Builder.

See the help guide documentation below for more information about working with the Strategy Builder.
