Exclude Stock from Strategy on Earnings Date

[JBU1314]

Hello, I am looking for a way to automatically exclude a stock from a basket of stocks if the stock/company releases earnings that day. I try to program this in Script but don't know where to start. Is this at all possible?

Hello JBU1314,

Thank you for your note.

What you could do is obtain the earnings release calendar from another source and put it into a .txt, maybe one exists however I’m unaware of such. Then you could then use NinjaTrader to scan that file and check todays date against the dates defined in the .txt file. You could use the reference example below as a guide for how to read from a text file.
