time based

[uupsa]

Hello together,

I would like to start a download from inside a strategy / indicator based on a specific time from the local machine. Is there any possibility to do this outside the:

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
}

method? I don´t want to wait for a bar update event.

Perhaps:

DateTime localMachineTime = DateTime.Now;
DateTime executeDateTime = new DateTime(2018, 08, 13, 18, 00, 0);

if (localMachineTime == executeDateTime)
{
do something....
}

Thanks for your help
Michael

Hello uupsa,

Thank you for your post.

You can use a timer to trigger custom events in NinjaScript. Please refer to our BarTimer indicator for an example. You can also find an example at the following link: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...ustomevent.htm

Please let me know if you have any questions.
