How to create such a condition for a period of time in Strategy Builder?

[Muratello]

Hello,

Please tell me how to implement a position closure in Strategy Builder strategy in NT8 over a period of time?
The strategy, under certain conditions, opened a position and closed after 5 minutes.

Hello Muratello,

Unfortunately, this would require manipulating DateTime objects and would not be something that the Strategy Builder is capable of.

The script would need to be unlocked and modified by hand.

You can compare the time of bars.

For example:

private int savedBar;

if (/* condition for saving bar time */)
savedBar = CurrentBar;

if (Time[CurrentBar — savedBar].AddMinutes(5) >= Time[0])
{
// it is at least 5 minutes since the time of the saved bar
}

Below is a link to the help guide on Time[0] and CurrentBar.

Please let me know if this does not resolve your inquiry.
