Bar Timer Market Order

[thaboushca]

Is it possible to create a market order if the bar is less than 10 seconds of closing and my conditions are met? For all other times within the bar, a limit order works, but if within the last 10 seconds, limit orders do not always fill and the order expires at the bar's conclusion.

I noticed "bar timer" is not an available indicator in strategy builder.

Thanks

Hello thaboushca,

Thanks for your post.

I have moved this forum thread to the Strategy Development section of the NinjaTrader Forums since your question seems to be related to programming a custom NinjaScript strategy.

Only indicators that contain a plot by calling the AddPlot() method are accessible in the Strategy Builder. The Bar Timer indicator that comes with NinjaTrader does not contain a plot which is why it is not accessible in the Strategy Builder.

With Calculate.OnBarClose your strategy code is executed once at the end of the bar and if a cross condition is true the order is placed and then filled on the subsequent bar (assuming market order type).

To accomplish this goal, you would have to unlock the code from the Strategy Builder by clicking the 'Unlock code' button and manually program logic into your script to submit an order if the bar is 10 seconds away from closing.

You could implement logic in your script similar to how the Bar Timer indicator works and then in your logic check if the hours remaining is 0, check if the minutes remaining is 0 and check if the seconds remaining is less than or equal to 10 and call your order entry method.

To study the Bar Timer indicator script, open a New > NinjaScritp Editor window, open the Indicators folder, and double-click on the BarTimer file.

If you need someone to write this script for you and add this logic on your behalf, you can also contact a professional NinjaScript Consultant who would be eager to create or modify this script at your request or assist you with your script.
