Thank you Bertrand,

Do you know where I can find example of entering 2 lots with 1st lot taking profit after certain number of pips and the second contract as the runner controled by other criteria (like following the MA).

Thanks again
Peter

Peter, unfortunately I'm not aware of an exact script for this use, but for example the Verwoort strategy in our sharing does scale out with 1 short target and a more 'runner like' one so you can take it as a start - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...N&pp=15&page=2

Thank you Bernard for helping me,

Another question is if there script to calculate the distance of price from Bolinger band top or bottom MA. Or distance between the lines of BB

Thanks
Peter

Hi Bernard,

Thanks for replays.
When I use backtest and I have negative value (EXAMPLE -10) integer , I have on Strategy Analyzer value of 1. It should be -10 because I initiated Variable with -10 in
#region Variables.

How can I get around it?

Thanks

Hi Bertrand,
I am thinking to use new variable integer.I can Transfer negative value from indicator. In Strategy I would like to recognize that this value is negative . I dont know how to recognize that value is negative.
Once I recognized its negative I can change it to positive. Again do you know where can I find example?
This positive value I can compaire with positive numbers. This way I can now back tested the strategy.

Thanks
peter

Peter, if this issue is with a user defined int input, please ensure the min value you've decided to set it up with extends to negative numbers as well.

Hi Bertrand,

Thanks for replay.
Are you saying that we can backtest negative numbers in Strategy Analyzer?
When I try to test on SIm live the same strategy shows green color for some instrument and yellow color on others. This is in control center-Strategies ,highlight on individual strategies under Strategy.Is there explanation why is highlight different?

thanks

Peter, for the different strategy states you noticed in the Strategies tab, please have a look here -

http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt7/strategies_tab2.htm

Green highlighted "Strategy" cell indicates a currently running strategy.

Yellow highlighted "Strategy" cell indicates the strategy is waiting until it reaches a flat position to be in sync with the account position before fully starting. (Please see the options Strategies Tab section for configuration options)

White highlighted "Strategy" cell indicates a disabled strategy.

What do you mean by testing negative values? A user input for a strategy could be negative as well, it would be limited by the variable chosen only - bool's would be true / false, int would contain integer numbers only, while doubles could offer a precision up to 16 digits.

Thanks Bertrand,

Testing negative value : I want to test values like -1, -20, -100 which I get from indicator.This -value I would like to analyze in Strategy and the test it in Backtest.

thanks

Yes, values returned from indicators could be negative as well - you would need to ensure to use the correct indicator plot in your conditions to work with it - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...on_builder.htm

Hi Bertrand,

I can get negative values from indicator to Strategy, but I cannot make it test in Strategy tester |backtest. Are you sure we can use negative values in Strategy Tester for backtest?

thanks
peter

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Peter, can you please post screenshots of your user defined inputs and conditions of the strategy, so we can take a look?

Thanks,

[Peter88]

Hi Bertrand,

For now I stop playing with negative values. Its over my head. Before I post spme pictures I will need to learn how to do it.
For now I just play with existing strategies and indicator and learning how scripts works.
I wanted to ask you if there is exit script which follow some indicator. What I mean is trailing stop which follow the price and takes values from indicator (like moving average).
When I tested existing strategies I can see that Optimazetion will make choise of making average of the trades and pick up SL,TP and TS based on criteria. Its actually misleading. Cutting some good trades in the midlle of action.

Thanks
Peter
