Conditions changing variable

[ChopR]

Hi.. I am new to the strategy wizard/programming, and have a pretty basic question.

I want to create a strategy where certain conditions create a 'get ready' situation.

Then, if that situation is true, along with other conditions, an entry can take place.

My understanding of what I need to do is in 'do the following:' window is make a variable that I have already defined (in the user defined inputs) == true. However, I cannot do that, that facitility isn't there from that window.

So, I am now using the 'Set user defined variable' and just choose variable1 (value 1).

This would simply cause variable1 to have a value of 1 once the conditions were met...no?

Then to active the entry, I go to Set2 tab, and have additional conditions along with variable1 == Numeric Value (1)....and finally in the 'do the following:' window I set my entry.

How is my approach wrong here?

Many thanks.

ChopR, welcome to the forums - your approach is correct to work with user variables for this to create 'ready flag' states in the wizard, also review this sample please - http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/...ad.php?t=15417

However to set a user variable you want to select numerical value (misc category) on the right side then in the condition builder.
