Hello thesoyboy2,

Thank you for your post and welcome to the NinjaTrader Support Forum!

For a watch list in NinjaTrader you would need to use the Market Analyzer and add the custom indicator as a column to the Market Analyzer. Or you would need to add the list of instrument into the code, but this can result in a very large of amount of programming that is unnecessary considering the previous option for the Market Analyzer.

As far as the conditions, you would need to build these in an indicator. Below is the code for the first two conditions:

if(Close[0] >= 6 && Close[0] < 60 && MACD(12, 26, 9)[0] >= EMA(9)[0])

For the stochastics you will need more parameters, please visit the following link for information on the Stochastics indicator method: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...tochastics.htm

EOD scan possible

Thanks for the detailed response.

As for the Stoch I would like 30 period with %K 15 crossing %D of 5

Also, is it possible to scan EOD if I'm starting out with Kinetick EOD?

thanks....

Hello thesoyboy2,

Thank you for your response.

The 15 K crossing above the 5 D would be the following:

			if(CrossAbove(Stochastics(5, 15, 3).K, Stochastics(5, 15, 3).D, 1))
			{
				//Do something
			}

For the 30 period of the Stochastic, do you know which period this will be for the equation of the stochastics? PeriodK, PeriodD or Smooth.
