timed exit in builder

[ezrollin]

Is there a way to specify that a script exits a position after 6 minutes while on a 5 minute time frame?
Am I close? thanks

Hello ezrollin,

Thanks for your post.

There are no methods in the Strategy Builder that would allow you to create a condition that checks if 6 minutes have passed by since the last order was placed.

This would require unlocking the code from the strategy builder and manually programming a timer in your script using the TriggerCustomEvent() method.

See this help guide page for information about TriggerCustomEvent() and sample code demonstrating how to create a timer: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...ustomevent.htm

Let me know if I may assist further.
