Daily strategy but need to enter at a certain time

[stratfreak]

Hi NinjaTrader pros
I am backtesting a daily strategy and am trying to enter at a specific time (say 11:00 am). I know that I have to backtest with minute or tick data. I need some guidance on what changes would need to be done in the daily strategy to execute on a minute data. Also how do I code a check or trade execution to to trigger at a specific time.

Hello stratfreak,

What part of the strategy needs to be daily?

Are you trying to place orders once, per day at 11:00 on a minute chart?

Are you trying to use a daily series as the input series for an indicator with Calculate set to OnPriceChange?

Hi
Is it possible to include a condition i.e. enter long only when S&P500 is on the rise and vice versa for sell strategies?

Hello honest-trader,

Yes

AddDataSeries("ES 06-21", BarsPeriodType.Day, 1);

if (Rising(Closes[1]))
{
EnterLong();
}
