Start/End Time

[jfoxx]

I have not been able to add start/end time successfully to my strategies. Can't seem to find anything in the guide either. Can someone please give me a link to the correct way to include start/end time using the Strategy Builder. Thanks.

Hi jfoxx, thanks for posting. There is an example of making a time filter here in the help guide:

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/?strategybuilder_condition_builder.htm#HowToCreateTimeFilters

This example uses a condition group to check that the time is in between 9:31AM and 11:30AM.

Kind regards,

Thank you. That worked. One more question: Is there a way to have the start/end time in the Inputs and Variables so that it would be easier to test various times?

Hi jfoxx, thanks for the follow up. You can create a Time Input in the Inputs and Variables section that looks like this then use that variable in the right hand side of the condition:
