Where to go now ?

[Duval]

Hi,
I wrote a simple strategy with ninjatrader.

I would like now to automate it: have ninjatrader open and close positions automatically.

My broker is mbtrading, so I guess it is possible.

Where should I investigate to learn how to set this up ?

Thanks,
Duval

Duval, you can start up the strategy directly from the chart and choose to execute it on your MBT live account -

An important concept to absorb before going live is this one here - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...tPosition.html

Interesting thanks.

With mbtrading, I should specify 0.2 lot size to match 2000 (micro) units ?
Their lot size is 10.000.
Please answer if you are 100% sure.

Thanks,

For 2 microlots enter 2000 as order qty.

But on the page I referenced it says:

"CRITICAL
Based on the above information, if you are backtesting in the Strategy Analyzer using order quantities of 100,000 and you now wish to trade live in your brokerage account where 1 lot is equal to 100,000 MAKE SURE that you adjust your strategy's order quantity from 100,000 to 1 to ensure you are trading the correct quantity."

I'm talking about being connected to LIVE brokerage for live trades.....

Please confirm.

The page you referenced is for backtesting, for MBT this is all done in units and 1000 would be one microlot, 10000 a minilot and 100000 a full lot. This holds true for live order entry. You can easily test this by placing a limit order off the market.

Thanks, you were right, I confirm.
