Exit on session close

[NinjaTrader_Kate]

Hello ozziyhtomit,

Thank you for your reply.

If you're setting them in OnStateChange you can do that from either State.SetDefaults or State.Configure, you may override the platform settings for IsExitOnSessionCloseStrategy and ExitOnSessionCloseSeconds and these will be used for the strategy in question instead of the set defaults in the platform:

protected override void OnStateChange()
{
    if (State == State.SetDefaults)
    {
        // Triggers the exit on close function 30 seconds prior to trading day end
        IsExitOnSessionCloseStrategy = true;
        ExitOnSessionCloseSeconds = 30;
    }
}

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.

I want it to exit at close but want the strategy to stay open. The funding rules says you cannot trade between 5 and 6 pm. Thx.

Hello JTizz,

Thank you for your note.

If IsExitOnSessionClosedStrategy is set to true, the strategy will cancel all strategy-generated orders and close all open strategy positions at the close of the session. This does not disable the strategy - it will still "stay open" and enabled to place trades the next time that the entry conditions become true. Please see the following help guide pages for more information about IsExitOnSessionCloseStrategy and ExitOnSessionCloseSeconds:

Another option you may want to consider for placing trades during certain hours is using a time filter. We have a reference sample for using a time filter to limit trading hours that may be found here:
