Buy/sell on trend line?

[MicroAl]

Has anyone got an ideal of how to get Ninja to buy/sell on a trend line
automatically? Ideally I would like to get Ninja to draw a channel based
on a Linear Regression Channel or something similar and then to buy sell
when specific deviations from the line are reached. I presume some complex Ninjascript programming would be required but wondering if this is
possible.

Obviously chosing how the trend is drawn is a another matter...

On the subject of trend lines, will Ninja 7 have the ability to take a
previously drawn trend line and extract a parallel line by simply clicking
on the line? Most charting packages now have this function.

MicroAl,

Provided you can code out what justifies your trendline and you store its values, NinjaTrader can buy/sell based on that value. It may take some coding to achieve.

You can already create parallel lines. From your draw object just select it, copy, and paste. It will create you a parallel line to the side.

Check the NinjaScript File Sharing area for the "Automated Trend Line Detection" indicator. The source code will give you guidance how to programmatically calcualte trend lines and check for the last price breached this line.

Excellent, I believe almost anything can be coded in Ninja, it's just a question of deciding what programming approach to take. I have only just
started learning C# so thought it would be a good programming exercise.

Never thought of using copy and paste - doh.
