Time Block Indicator

This is the starting time for the block of time to be identified.

This is the ending time for the block of time to be identified.

Enable or disable each day of the week the block of time applies to.

Enabling this will display text on the chart that prints the Outputs for BloodHound status.

This sets the color of the text that prints on the chart.

Select the location on the chart you would like to see the text.

Enabling this option will color the chart background using the three colors below.

This color is applied to the chart between midnight up to the Start Time.  See the yellow background color on the image above.  Using the default Start Time value, this will typically be pre-market trading hours.

This color is applied to the chart between the Start Time and the End Time.  See the dark background color on the image above.  Using the default Start and End Time values, this will typically be the trading hours.

This color is applied to the chart between the End Time until midnight.  See the purple background color on the image above.  Using the default End Time value, this will typically be after market/trading hours.

This output identifies the bar that matches the time of the Start Time parameter.  On that bar, this BoolSeries becomes True, and the Threshold solver will generate a signal on the bar that matches the Start Time.

This output identifies the bar that matches the time of the End Time parameter. On that bar, this BoolSeries becomes True, and the Threshold solver will generate a signal on the bar that matches the End Time.

This output identifies all the bars between midnight up to the Start Time, but not the Start Time bar.  On those bars, this BoolSeries becomes True, and the Threshold solver will generate a signal on all the bars between midnight and the Start Time.

This output identifies all the bars between the Start Time and End Time parameters.  On those bars, this BoolSeries becomes True, and the Threshold solver will generate a signal on all the bars between the Start Time and End Time.

This output identifies all the bars after the End Time up to midnight, but not the End Time bar.  On those bars, this BoolSeries becomes True, and the Threshold solver will generate a signal on all the bars after the End Time up to midnight.

This output identifies the first bar after midnight.  On that bar, this BoolSeries becomes True, and the Threshold solver will generate a signal on the first bar after midnight.
This is useful for resetting Function nodes when a new day starts, for logic that needs to reset on a daily basis.

This output identifies if the bar’s date falls on a market holiday as identified by NinjaTrader’s Trading Hours session template.  This BoolSeries becomes True (or 1) when a bar’s date matches the date of a holiday or partial holiday, according to the Trading Hours template.  Otherwise, the output is False.
This is useful for preventing signals during holidays.  It can be used in the Threshold solver to identify non-holidays (or holidays).  Typically, non-holiday bars should be identified via the Threshold solver.  Have the Threshold solver output a value of 1 when IsTradingHoliday equals false (∅).  That allows a trade signal to pass through an AND node.  Connect the Threshold solver to the last AND node in the logic.
I.E.  Non-holiday dates will output false or ∅ (zero).  Therefore, identify when IsTradingHoliday equals zero.  The image illustrates how to identify a zero value using the Threshold solver.  Click the image to enlarge…
To summarize, when this IsTradingHoliday boolseries outputs a zero, the Threshold solver outputs a 1.

Critical:  Your NinjaTrader » Trading Hours session templates must be up to date for this BoolSeries to work.  Please contact NinjaTrader support for help on updating the platform.
