How to get current end of session time?

[zehua]

I want to stop making new trades 1 hour before the current session close.
How do I get that?
I am also wondering, since I am in Pacific time zone, but I think the CME is in Chicago time zone, is this going to make any difference for NT 7 to correctly tell me the current time? Is it going to tell me the end of session time for my time zone?

zehua,

Times are always related directly to your time zone.

Here is a reference sample on using time filters : http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ead.php?t=3226

Thanks!
So in this example, I still don't see how I can figure out how much time is left before the current trading day's end of session, can I?

zehua,

You would need to hard code this value into your strategy/indicator. Its possible to do it other ways, however this is the easiest to implement solution I can offer. Perhaps others also have some good suggestions.

Please let me know if I may assist further.

Read the instruments file.

Hello,

I do this:

DateTime time_end_session;
time_end_session=Bars.Session.NextEndTime.ToUniver salTime();
time_end_session=time_end_session.AddSeconds(-("put here the seconds you want to subtract"))
if(DateTime.Now.ToUniversalTime()>=time_end_session. ToUniversalTime()){
//Stop Trading;
}

Whoa....... So Bars.Session.NextEndTime is not going to work?

Zehua,

It probably will work, however unfortunately we simply can't support the use of this method, i.e. if you have more questions about using it we would possibly be unable to answer or unable to help you with debugging, etc. This is why we are reluctant to give unsupported advice as we prefer to be able to help our developers whenever we can.

If you are unsure what is or isn't supported you can check our help guide for the method. If its not there it is generally not supported, however sometime some methods may specifically say they are not supported such as advanced programming options.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.
