Where to start

[CashCache]

Hello, I am just getting started on a new strategy, but I want to also show entry points (and other things) on the graph of the instrument – as the strategy is placing orders. Should I just create the auto trading strategies in the same place I create the code to mark up the chart (custom indicator), or should I keep the strategy separate?
I like the idea of keep the strategy separate, but how could I then have it mark up a chart while it’s running?
Also, is there a good place to go to learn how the Ninja Auto Trading framework works, and to get best practice ideas?
Thanks,

I would suggest coding any chart markers directly in your strategy.

Thanks for the reply Ray.

I was assuming by running one of the sample strategies, it would bring up a chart when it was run. When I run the SampleMACrossOver, shouldn't I see a chart come up with SMA?

No it will not.

Here is information on running a strategy in a chart.

It was the Chart Trader that was throwing me off.

That is exactly what I was looking for. Now the fun begins....

Thanks, agian...
