Adding Strategy start/stop time in menu.

[Teebone21]

On the "edit startegy" menu i would like to add the ability to change the start/stop time of my strategies. I know this has to be done in the unlocked version of my code. Is their a template available for this ?

Hello Teebone21,

Thanks for your post.

You will need to create a User Defined Inputs for integers and then use those inputs to control logic using ToTime.

An example that uses ToTime can be found here - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...to_limit_t.htm

ToTime documentation can be found here - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...t8/?totime.htm

Information on creating User Defined Inputs can be found here - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...d_input_pa.htm

You may also use a New Indicator/New Strategy Wizard to create User Defined Inputs and see the resulting syntax.

New NinjaScript Wizards - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help.../ns_wizard.htm

We look forward to asisting.

try this:

protected override void OnStateChange()
{
  if (State == State.SetDefaults)
  {
    Startzeit1 = DateTime.Parse("01:00", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
    Endzeit1 = DateTime.Parse("22:00", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
  }
}

 protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
  if (Times[0][0].TimeOfDay >= Startzeit1.TimeOfDay && Times[0][0].TimeOfDay <= Endzeit1.TimeOfDay)
  {
    ...your logic here...
  }
