How to check if the current trading date

[digo098]

I want to run a check with my strategy. I want to make an if statement that checks to see if today's date is later than 1/20/2022, if so return true, else, false and disable strategy.

Could you help me with this?

Hello digo098,

if (Core.Globals.Now >= new DateTime(2022, 1, 20))
{
}
else
{
CloseStrategy();
}

Can you use the strategy name, it's calling for a string when I try this.

Hello Conceptzx,

Thanks for your notes.

The CloseStrategy() method has a string signalName parameter that would be passed in. A signalName is used for entry/exit orders, and this is not the strategy name.

From the CloseStrategy() help guide:

The signalName will be used to identify the closing order. If no signal name exists or is null, "Close" will be substituted instead.

See the help guide documentation below for more information and sample code.
