Exit Names and Signal Names

[kenb2004]

If I am using a "signal name" for exiting, is it possible to have an exit name as well, to describe the reason "why exiting"?

ExitLong("Long-1"), like: "MACrossDown"

thanks

Hello,

Thank you for your note.

Yes this is possible. Please see this guide, you will want to use the method that uses Signal Name.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Ok, thanks. So you just have to put the "exit signal name" before the "entry signal name", right?

[NinjaTrader_Brett]

ExitLong(string signalName, string fromEntrySignal)


Put the signal name first and then the from entry signal second.

In Ninja 7, is it possible to backtest a strategy that enters intrabar, rather than at close or next bar open?

Clint, this is possible in 6.5 / 7 if you can formulate your higher time frame entry by using a lower granular timeframe - if this is not possible, the next best option is to use this reference sample -
