Strategy Start Time Greater than End Time

[EC_Chris]

I have an issue with strategy start and end time

Based on this thread

https://ninjatrader.com/support/forum/showthread.php?t=57715

I am using this code

if(StartTime<StopTime
					&& ToTime(Time[0]) >= (StartTime * 100) 
					&& ToTime(Time[0]) <= (StopTime * 100))
					
					trade=true;

				else if (StartTime>StopTime)
				{
					if ((ToTime(Time[0]) >= (StartTime*100) && ToTime(Time[0]) <= 235959) || ToTime(Time[0]) < (StopTime * 100))
					
					trade=true;	
				}		
				
				else
					trade=false;

Inputs for start and end time are:

				StartTime = 1500;
				StopTime = 1230;

So the strategy crosses over sessions.

It seemed like it worked, but it is not working anymore. This has been a real headache, is there a simpler way to code this?

Hello EC_Chris,

Thanks for opening the thread.

I suggest to add debug prints to your code so you can see if this trade bool is getting set appropriately, or if there is another part of the logic that is preventing your orders from submitting.

I have created a demonstration showing how debugging prints can be used with the Strategy Analyzer to analyze the strategy logic.

Additional tips on debugging can be found here: https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...ead.php?t=3418

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Same issue, I just reset strategy on start of each interval. Like time 1 to 160000 or 170000 to 240000

Hello Kubera2024 and EC_Chris,

I have included an export for my demonstration video yesterday. This can be tested in the Strategy Analyzer and the prints that show if the filter "trade" becomes true or false can be observed in the NinjaScript Output window.

For the thread's reference, additional examples on time checks can be seen in the sample here: https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...ead.php?t=3226

Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.
