Setting Session Template with NinjaScript

May 6th, 2013, 05:51 AM

Hi everyone.

I need to be able to set the session template in my strategy code. This is unsupported by ninja trader.

I have read that "Session.String2Session(string session data)" is what I need to use. I am just a bit unsure as to how to use it.

Basically I have around 24 Session Templates that I want to optimize my strategy against and once I establish how to set the Session Template the rest of the coding I will be fine with. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I have now tried the following two bits of code. But still not working. Any help would be appreciated.

protected override void Initialize()
{
Session.String2Session("<Default 24/7>");
}

protected override void Initialize()
{
SessionData = "<Default 24/7>";
}

// SessionData = "CME FX Futures ETH";
// SessionData = "<Use instrument settings>";
SessionData = "Default 24/7";

// SessionData = "CME FX Futures ETH";
// SessionData = "<Use instrument settings>";
SessionData = "Default 24/7";

Thanks for the response Baruchs. Have tried:

SessionData = "Default 24/7";

Still doesn't work. I have clarified this with:

if(CurrentBar == 1)
{
Print(Bars.Session.TemplateName);
}
