Exit trades before News

[daxtrading]

Hello,

I have several strategies and using a NewsManager to block trades during news.

This week I had an overfill because of exit on news and stoploss being triggered at the same time.

Is there a code to exit a no. of minutes before the news?

daxtrading, this would be possible if you could access the news indicator to check for pending news...or you simply set up time inputs for the strategy and then designate a window of 3 mins before / after to no take any trades and exit any ones being held -

I can access the newsindicator and it is checking for pending news.
My strategy is not trading x minutes before and x minutes after news.
I am not a programmer and my strategy is now exiting a trade when the news is released and that is giving me bad fills.

I am not a programmer but understand my strategies/code.

Any example to add code that say's exit x minutes before news?

I would unfortunately not be familiar with your custom code checking for news, but if it gives you a news time you can easily create such an exit...you would check for the time being equal to the news time - an offset (for example 2 mins) and then call ExitLong / ExitShort to get flat (ignored when position does not exist) - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...deV6/Time.html
