Compare a bar with a Specific time and entry at the end of the day.

[strongelephant]

For Example, In 1 hour NQ chart, I want to compare the open at 0100 and the close at 23;00, if open (0100) - close (2300) > 300, then take Entry at 23:59 in the same day.
How can i do that?

Hello strongelephant,

Thank you for your note.

You could check the open price when the time is 0100, and save that to a variable. Then, you could check for the time to be 2300, subtract the open you saved from the close price of that bar, and set a bool to true. Then, at 2359 on an added 1 minute series, check if the bool is true and submit an order if it is.

I've created a simple example script that demonstrates this.

You can also use GetBar to find the 0100 am open price at 2300:

Either method would work.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.

I use 60mins for the calculation.

Hello strongelephant,

Thank you for your reply.

Ah, I left a couple lines in there from starting out in the Strategy Builder that would block the entry. If you remove the following at the top of OnBarUpdate you should see it submit orders:

if (BarsInProgress != 0)
return;
