Need basic help to get started

[corbe]

Hey! I'd like a pointer to get started.

In the script wizard, how would I set the condition "If the past 3 bars are down"? Do I do that through Indicators - > NBarsDown?

Is there a place that explains what all the properties mean? Like, how does "Bars ago" effect things? Or what does "Offset" mean? et cetera

I figured after I get a basic example, I'd be able to figure out the rest on my own. Thanks!

Hi corbe,

Thanks for the post and welcome to the NinjaTrader forums. Yes, you can use NBarsDown to check for consecutive down closes. This returns a value of 1 when true.
On the left expand Indicators > NBars down and set the parameters.
In the middle select == for "equal to".
On the right expand Misc > numeric value and type a value of 1.

Yes, this help guide article can help working with condition builder, including offsets and bars ago field.
