Requesting code to take ATR at a specific time as a condition in the strategy builder

[jourdale]

Requesting help with ninjascript code. Want to experiment with using ATR at a certain time as a condition to determine whether to trade a session. This is beyond my ability. If someone could code it I would appreciate it.

Hell jourdale,

Thanks for your post.

You would need to create a Time Comparison condition or Time Filter in the Strategy Builder to check if the current Time is within a certain timeframe. Then, you could create a condition in the same Set that compares the ATR indicator to a certain value.

See this help guide pages linked below for more information about creating Time Comparisons and Time Filters in the Strategy Builder.
