Free version, strategies link grayed out

The strategies link in the drop down mwnu is grayed out. Is it not possible to use strategies in the free version?

Hello ju1234,

You may run strategies on the Free Simulation Version of NinjaTrader. Note you will only be able to select the Sim101 account.

To run a NinjaScript Strategy you must have the following items.

* NinjaTrader must be connected to real-time incoming data, note the Simulated Data Feed (for some instruments) and Market Replay Data may be used.

* You can not run Chart Trader on a chart while you have a running strategy applied to the chart (to disable right click inside chart, select Properties, and make sure Show chart trader is set to False)

For more information you may view the following link that goes over "Running a NinjaScript Strategy from a Chart".
