How to start a strategy for multiple instruments on a single click

[stefy]

I have a strategy I'd like to run on many pairs. Is there a way to start a strategy for all these pairs in a single click?

Thank you

Unfortunately not. You will need to load them all onto the Strategies tab and press Start for each one in sequence.

I followed the advice of Ninjatrader in a previous post and I modified my strategy to be multi-instrument. It gets very complicated but it should allow me to launch it easily.

Thanks for the input cunparis - here is a link to the help section for MultiInstrument strategies - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...struments.html

Is it possible in NT 7 now to start a strategy for multiple instruments on a single click ??

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Yes, this is possible in our Strategies tab now in NT7 - you would select all strategies and right click 'Enable'.

Bertrand: Two things on this.
First: If I have developed my own code for a particular strategy, is it possible to have the ONE strategy running and scanning over say 10 currencies pairs to potentially trade? In other words, I don't want to have to start a separate Line item in the "Strategy" tab each time I want to start the same strategy but for different instruments. I have looked into "Multiple Instruments" and followed the instructions but it does not work and does not back test or optimize. If this IS possible, can you please provide the Right sample code to execute this please.
Second: Are you saying that NT7 DOES do this if 6.5 doesn't? (I am currently using 6.5)

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Creating a Multi Instrument strategy is possible in both NT 6.5 and NT7 - if yours is not working as expected you would need to simplify and debug it, perhaps start with 2 instruments first to ensure the basics work.

However, if you backtest the strategy then in the Strategy Analyzer or on the chart, you would only see the primary series displayed, as the other instruments would only be added internally for calculations.

I use a director strategy that does the scanning (or marketanalyzer)

Then I have custom code to launch a strategy programatically. Sorry, no open or free code.
