Trading off of Tigger Points

[philrx300]

I have an Indicator that plots red or blue dots at trigger points in the market. One to go short and one to go long. It tries to show the mechanical entry/exit points. I purchased this indicator. I can get the chart to play a sound and plot a point, but I don't know how to program the strategy.

I've programed MA crossovers to buy/sell with no problem, but I don't know what to put in the condition builder to then do a buy or sell. How do I tell NT Strategy that a plot was made? Or that this condition is true?

Hello,

I can't really say with the custom indicator. I can help you with default indicators.

You have to build the condition based on a value or true/false reference. I don't know the indicator so I can't say what that would be.

Is there a way to see the values of an indicator instead of just seeing the plots on a chart? Is there a debug window or something in NT? That way I could see with the indicator was calculating and base the strategy off of that.

Hello,

Yes. Use Print() and use Tools>Output window:
