Hi,

I have a simple thing I want to do. A requirement of a strategy I'm working on is to exit 120-minutes after an entry occurred. However the BarsSinceEntry method returns the number of bars since the last entry. Is there a way to query NT to figure out how long ago all the entries were entered?


thanks!

The easiest is probably to just record the entry time/date at the time of entry. Next to your EnterLong() etc just do something like myEntryTime = Time[0];

set myEntryTime to DateTime in #vars.
