Coding a Variable

[vt2009]

I would like to generate a variable based on two stock prices to use in my order entry.

Instead of EnterShort(Default) I want it to EnterShort(myVariable)

How do I code in Ninja Script the formula for a variable:
(Price of Stock A/Price of Stock B)= myVariable

I have very limited C# experience.

Hi vt2009,

This would require using a multi-instrument strategy.

This will also be available in indicators with the release of NinjaTrader 7.

This seems to be the link I am always given...is there an example of myVariable code I could look at? Its really simple I'm sure

Hi vt2009,

Unfortunately, I don't have a specific sample available for this specific topic, however there is also a sample Strategy loaded by default in NinjaTrader if you want another example of the use of multi-instrument strategies.
