questions for a newbee

[kiwibird]

I know nothing about ninja scripts ...so please bear with my basic questions.
ive opened a chart and added a ninja script moving average.
works fine.

tried sample atm strategy and didnt see any trades.
does this work only in real time?

is there also a way to write to a file, and read a file?

does the print command output to the output window?
I have added print ("hello world") to the last line of samplemacrossover,
added it to a chart, but dont get any output

Does zenfire data have advance and decline?

Hi kiwibird, you are welcome.

1. Correct, ATM strategies work only in realtime - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...trategies.html

2. You can use Steamreader / Steamwriter from the Reference Samples - http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/...splay.php?f=30

3. Yes, Print() commands are shown in the Output window of the Control Center. It could be that your condition for printing was never evaluated to true...for examples you can check this out - http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/...ead.php?t=3418

4. ZenFire offers Futures and Forex data, for Adv / Decl data you would need Indices, please see this grid here for your data options in NinjaTrader - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...ricalData.html
