Defining trading hours template in NinjaScript code for my strategy

[burtoninlondon]

Hello,

Is there a way to define the trading hours template in my NinjaScript code for my strategy?

When I want to apply the strategy to the instrument I have to define the trading hours every time and also each time I use the strategy in the StrategyAnalyser.

I use the same trading hours in all of my strategies so it would be convenient to remove this step from the strategy configuration process with it being hard coded into my strategy.

Thanks,

Neil

Hello Neil,

Thank you for your post.

There is an overload for AddDataSeries() that allows you to specify the trading hours to use, though this would only apply for a multi-series script that calls AddDataSeries():

Ultimately, the Trading Hours selected will be based on the input series for the strategy by default unless you save a new default template. You could consider saving the default strategy template to the desired trading hours session to save you the step of manually changing the trading hours every time you use the strategy.
