Auto trading not allowed ?

[blarouche]

Hi everybody
I hope you're having a good day !

A question about strategy coding.

I am working on a project that will be distributed to clients. I would like to show them all the usual strategy informations like buys sells exits and the likes but I would not allow them to trade automatically (auto trading).

Is it possible to code a strategy that would not allow auto trading ?

Bernard, I think you can work with 'Historical' for this - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...istorical.html

Thus no realtime trades generated and past performance could be reviewed.

the problem is that I want the clients to see it live so that they can execute manually their trades.

In reality I would like them to see orders but they would have to execute their trades themselves !

I know it seems strange...

Ok I see, how about displaying the trades then in an indicator? Then they could manually trades the system signals.

I agree with you Bertrand but I don't know how it would work.

I would have to create a synthetic position so that I would follow the trades to keep track of all exits and entries orders !

Bernard, unfortunately true, or just Draw then in realtime from the strategy to show the trades to be taken.

Here another idea what you could do, but please note the use of this is unsupported and could need reworking in subsequent releases of NinjaTrader -

if (AccountName != "Sim101") return;

Great idea about the AccountName != Sim101


Thanks a lot
