ATM and Script

Hello, i have build a strategy to open and close trades based on MA's. I have also custom made a ATM for Trailing stops and take profits, how do i make the ATM execute the same time as the Strategy?

Welcome to our forums here - please have a look into the SampleAtmStrategy installed on your NinjaTrader platform per default, it would show how the AtmStrategyCreate() method is used to enter positions that are then managed by your chosen ATM strategy template.

In the Control Panel click on:
Tools->Edit NinjaScript->Strategy->SampleAtmStrategy->Ok

This strategy should be able to get you going in the right direction. Just remember that this is a very dumb down example. Controlling an ATM in a strategy can get very complicated, very quickly.

Connect to database

Is Ninja can connect to an access database?

Hello luxurious_04,

Yes, it may be possible but is beyond our scope of support. I suggest taking a look at the following post which offers an example of hooking up to a mySql database.

Anyone there knows the solution for this:

I have a variable that contain a value that is cumulative like this

total = total + 1;

Now, I want this to be updated on my database and the update query should be like this

sql = "UPDATE tableTotal SET totalField = 'total' WHERE id='0001'";

the problem is when I go to my access database the value of totalFied is a word 'total'. I want the value should be the total from the computation which is the cumulative:

I want the result of total = total + 1 to be save in the totalField of my table.

Anyone could help on this matter? Thanks in advance..

Please help me on making a textbox on the chart.

luxurious_04, you can use the DrawText() / DrawTextFixed() methods here.

[luxurious_04]

Is there a way that strategy can plot values on the chart? Please give a hint. Thanks in advance.

Question. Each strategy should have a plot placeholder? Can we not combine all plots of 2 strategies into 1 plot placeholder?

How do I use this? I mean I let the strategy run and put the placeholder indicator and nothing is being plotted. Does this work on replay?

Hello,

Sorry not clear what your trying to do. You cannot do cross strategy communication. However you can import in indicator data into NinjaTrader by simply calling the indicator. One strategy can call multiple indicators. However one strategy cannot call another strategy.

I look forward to assisting you further.
