Strategy: hours to avoid

[twelvester]

Is there a way to disable the strategy during certain times of the day? For example, market ends at 4pm, would like to stop the strategy at 3.45pm.
If it trades futures the whole day, to avoid he opening too from 9.15-9.30am

Hello twelvester,
Yes, you can do this by specifying a condition Times[0][0].TimeOfDay != new TimeSpan(hh, mm, ss), hope it helps!

Hello twelvester,

Thanks for your post.

Yes, it is possible to disable the strategy however you would then have to manually re-enable it.

What we suggest here is not to disable your strategy but instead control when it places orders as well as when it exits all positions and this can be done through the use of the time functions.

Here is a link to an example strategy of using a time filter to limit trading hours: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...to_limit_t.htm
