Where to start if I want to create a strategy on a trading set-up?

Sure - please send and I'm happy to take a look to see how it should be referenced from a strategy.

Hi Ryan

Your prompt yes has made my week. Just sent the indicator to you.

Good morning

I have a baby breakthrough tonight. Finally succeeded in capturing the higher time frame conditions as a filter when triggering signals on a lower time frame. My trillion thanks to Ryan for his guidance this week.

I estimate that my script has a minor bug as it's experiencing arrows' overlapping issue on the same candle. Appreciate any tips to fix it please.

My filter codes:

Here it comes a screen shot on the current arrows' overlapping issue:

Thank you.

Your conditions are evaluated for every series, unless you filter these with BarsInProgress.

You can add a statement like this that will exclude processing for all other series except for the primary.

if (BarsInProgress != 0) return;

Your prompt suggestion works like a charm! Thanks Ryan. Now I will monitor my new-born baby for a few days before releasing it .. haha .. Have a nice weekend.

[NinjaTrader_RyanM1]

You're welcome, belecona. Glad that did the trick. Enjoy your weekend!

Good afternoon

I modified my multi-time frame indicator (with bull and bear filters) over the weekend. Up/Down arrows and Green/Red diamonds have been plotting normal during Market replay and real-time environment. Unfortunately, the audio alerts have not been beeping most of the time when I have Up/Down arrows. Appreciate your suggestion to solve the audio myth. Here it comes my script:

Thank you.

You should separate 1)troubleshooting sound playback by code and 2) evaluating the exact condition there.

You should first try with a simplified script that is made to only play sound with a simple condition. This is a real time only action. Once you verify it's working you can integrate it into your script.

If sound does not playback in a simple script, check that:

• File exists in folder C:\Program Files\NinjaTrader 7\sounds
• No error messages in log tab of control center.
• It triggers in real time.
• Can play the sound manually when clicking on it from Windows explorer / My computer.

To evaluate if the condition triggers in real time, use a simple print statement which will send to the Tools > Output Window.

if (myCondition && !Historical)
Print("This condition triggered in real time");

Hi Ryan

Thanks for your prompt advice. I did more trouble-shooting incl market replay on different markets. I nailed down why the audio alert has not been beeping too often. FYI: It did beep .. just not very diligent lol!

Mystery solved and now I know exactly when it will beep. Thank you. Have a great week.

Good afternoon

I added a SendMail Alert to my indicator and it's working. Unfortunately, the suggested price has too many decimals lol. For example,

Sell 6E 1.36311820640099

I have the following Codes:

Under Variables

privatedouble longEntryPrice = 999999999;
privatedouble shortEntryPrice = 0;

Under protected override void OnBarUpdate()

SendMail("[email protected]","[email protected]","Alert:"+ "Buy 6E"+longEntryPrice,"Buy 6E"+longEntryPrice);

SendMail("[email protected]","[email protected]","Alert:"+ "Sell 6E"+shortEntryPrice,"Buy 6E"+shortEntryPrice);

Please help. Thank you.

Sos

My SendMail alert has sent me over a few hundreds alerts already for the past half hour. I was market replaying using 500 speed for some minutes. Believe my indicator has a looping code in it. Is there a way to stop the system so that it will stop sending us the remaining alerts? Or have to wait until all alerts dry up?? Please help!

[NinjaTrader_RyanM1]

You could try with this to format the number to 4 decimal places.

longEntryPrice.ToString("N4")

shortEntryPriceToString("N4")

Use Round2TickSize to ensure that your prices print sensible values.

double RoundedLE = Instrument.MasterInstrument.Round2TickSize(longEntryPrice);

SendMail("[email protected]","[email protected]","Alert:"+ "Buy 6E"+RoundedLE,"Buy 6E"+RoundedLE);

etc

[belecona]

Please suggest a way to stop the email alerts if there's a way. They're over-flooding my mailbox lol .. oh well ..

[NinjaTrader_RyanM1]

You'll have to stop running the scripts that are sending out email commands, or comment the SendMail() statements.
