Building a strategy with script

[Finor]

Hello!

Sorry for being very new, and ask a question most of you I am sure are very familiar with. I have no programming experience, but have been quite a successful trader for a decade now. However, when I look at ninjatrader it seems it can enhance my trading more.

The question I need answering.

After I get to the condition builder, here is what I want to start with.

Condition 1:

Low in bar 0 cross below Open in the same bar (that should also be 0?) minus 1 %. So if Open in bar is 100 it should trigger if the price move below 99.

If I try to put Open * 0.99 in the window it gives me an error. Is there a way to do this?

I have tried to look for a solution on this, but unsuccessfully. Thanks for any help!

Hello Finor,

Welcome to the NinjaTrader Support Forums!

Could you clarify what error you are receiving?

Note that when using the Strategy Wizard and the CrossBelow/CrossAbove operators you would not be able to set an offset for a Price Data Series like Open, High, Low, Close. The Strategy Wizard will automatically pass the entire Data Series in the Cross so you would not be able to offset a single value unless you do some custom coding, or use the "<, >, >=, <=, etc..." operators.


Happy to be of further assistance.
