Hi germano, thanks for the kind words and welcome to the NinjaTrader support forums!

You can use GetCurrentBid(int barSeriesIndex) for this and specify from which bars series it should be taken - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...urrentBid.html

Your second instrument would be added with the Add() method - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...deV6/Add1.html

Here's a good link to get an overview - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...struments.html

Thanks Bertrand,
Sorry, still one comment:
GetCurrentBid() uses the Bid price while Add() accepts only PeriodType and not the prices (bid ask, etc.). How do I make a comparison between one GetCurrentBid() and an other Add(…currency Bid) ?
Thank you for your answer.

With Add() you load your second instrument, which will get the barSeriesIndex 1 (0 is the primary one).

In GetCurrentBid you can then reference this instrument -

Thanks Josh,

in the Control Center logs there is written:

No errors? I would have suspected the strategy name to be in conflict with something. Please try renaming it to something other than "Strategy". See if that helps.

Fact: I have it call "Ring_EurUsdGbp". Does not work!

This is the Control Center logs:

germano,

Please post complete logs as well as describe exactly what "does not work" means. What part doesn't work? What are you expecting? What are you seeing instead?

[germano]

Excuse Josh,

but for me is very difficult to speak in English; they are of Italian language and understand and write in English I use a web translator. Give time please.

So, with NinjaTrader I was trying to costriure this system: http://kreslik.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=307

germano,

Unfortunately we cannot evaluate the strategy link you posted. In general, GetCurrentBid() is a real-time property only. When running on a historical chart it will just take the Close price of the bar. This may or may not impact your expectations.

Kreslik's work looks fairly complex and it may be something you would like to do with a 3rd party NinjaScript Consultant. Here is a list of them: http://www.ninjatrader.com/webnew/pa...injaScript.htm

Thanks Josh,
The system exists in MQL language to Metatrader4, but the platform is not sufficiently stable; some times send 3 orders but other times it sends only 2 order. I wanted to try with Ninja Trader because it is a platform that I love.
Sorry for the disturb.
Thank you Josh and congratulations to the forum.
