Multi instrument Strategy - same conditions

[tomaslolo]

Hi all, I have a strategy that I want to run in multiple instruments. As you can imagine can´t get it to work. So far, I have done this:

Add data series for second instrument:

Add("M6J", PeriodType.Day, 1);

I want to enter and close a trade everytime this happens in each instrument. I´ve tried this way:

if (BarsInProgress == 0)
		{	
		
	// Condition set 1
           if (ATR(12)[0] > ATR(48)[0])
                
            {
                EnterLong(DefaultQuantity, "");
            }
			
            // Condition set 2
            if (ATR(12)[0] < ATR(48)[0])
            {
                ExitLong("", "");
            }
		}
		

	if (BarsInProgress == 1)
		{	
		
	   // Condition set 1
           if (ATR(BarsArray[1],12)[0] > ATR(BarsArray[1],48)[0])
                
            {
                EnterLong(DefaultQuantity, "");
            }
			
            // Condition set 2
            if (ATR(BarsArray[1],12)[0] < ATR(BarsArray[1],48)[0])
            {
                ExitLong("", "");
            }
		}

But after backtesting in srategy analizer, only trades the primary intrument. There´s no trades for second, third, etc... instruments.

How do you tell NT to trade the second instrument (or the third, fourth, etc... any other)? I mean, EnterLong("TRADE M6J""")

Did I do something wrong? I guess I did.

Thank you!!

Hello tomaslolo,

Thanks for your post.

When your code isn't executing as expected you can use Print statements to verify that the code block is being reached. For example:

if (ATR(BarsArray[1],12)[0] > ATR(BarsArray[1],48)[0])

{
Print ("Condition set 1 of BarsInprogress 1 true at: "+ Times[1][0]); //debug print
EnterLong(DefaultQuantity, "");
}

Other debugging tips can be found here: https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...ead.php?t=3418

We recommend that you use the Entry order method overload that includes the BarsInProgress index: EnterLong(int barsInProgressIndex, int quantity, string signalName), as identified here: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...?enterlong.htm

In addition, please review the section, " Entering, Exiting and Retrieving Position Information" here: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...nstruments.htm

Thank you Ninja_Trader_Paul, I had to delete these lines in order to let run the script

if (BarsInProgress == 0)

if (BarsInProgress == 1)

I suppose BarsinProgrees can be used for different TimeFrame series.

Thank you very much,
