Custom Logic for close position strategy builder

[Kathir]

Our goal is to close positions within the hour of opening. For example; if the position opens at 9:04 AM we would require that it close by 10:00 AM. On the other hand, if a position opens at 9:55 AM, that position would close at 11:00 AM not 10:00 AM due to the shortness.

There needs to be a minimum amount of time, not less than, 30 minutes, but it too must close on the hour.

Hello Kathir,

Thanks for your post and welcome to the Ninjatrader forums!

The strategy builder is limited in the area of working with time elements and you have a variable condition of time and then a variable condition of rounding time up. These operations are not possible in the strategy builder. They could be done directly in Ninjascript which is based on C# and you would have access to all of the time methods.

An alternative you may wish to test in the strategy builder is to use the method Bars since entry which will return the number of bars since the entry was filled. This can be found in the condition builder Misc folder. If you are using time-based bars then this would seem to be a way to ensure you have a "minimum" number of bars before exiting.

Hello Kathir,

Thanks for your reply.

You wrote, " But i have one doubt where i wrote my custom logic coding in ninjascript?"

I'm not sure what you are asking for, can you clarify?
