Closing & Reopening Trade At Set Times

[quicksandatl]

I'm trying to add the ability to close an open position at a specific time, but "remember" the position size and direction to reopen it at a following time.

The reason for this being that I'm trying to fully automate a strategy, but am not allowed to carry positions through settlement. Essentially, if I have an open position, I'm trying to close it a few minutes before settlement, and reopen it as soon as market opens extended hours (globex).

Would there be a straightforward way to do this? Thank you!

Hello quicksandatl,

Thanks for your post.

A Time Comparison condition could be used to close a trade or enter a trade at a specific time.

See this help guide page for more information about creating Time Comparison conditions: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...imeComparisons

You could save the position's quantity (Position.Quantity) to a variable while the trade is open and then use that variable in your Entry method when you call your next order to enter another position.

See this help guide for information Position.Quantity and sample code: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...n_quantity.htm
