New switched to NT

Hi there,

Long time user of QuoteTracker now new to NT.

I am trying to successfully use the Strategy wizard by seeing the strategy on a chart before unlocking the code to program in C#.

The strategy is only one IF statement to print an up arrow on a chart.

IF statement: Close[0] >= Low[2]
DO the following: DrawArrowUp...

I set ProfitTarget & SetStopLoss to +5 & -5 ticks for the sake of it...

However, being connected to IB and bringing up a chart, setting enable = True, I still can't seem to even see the up arrow(s) on a live chart or any trades placed if I backtest in Strategy Analyzer.

I'm missing something, to get this going... what is it?

Thx
IJ

Hello,

Thanks for the note and welcome to the NinjaTrader support forum.

You should see only one arrow. As if you call to DrawArrow again with the same Tag name it will move the arrow instead of drawing a new one.

If you want multiple arrows to be drawn at all points you would need to add CurrentBar to it to give each arrow its own unique tag.

For example:

DrawArrowUp("Tag" + CurrentBar, true, 0, Close[0], Color.AliceBlue);


Would draw a new arrow for each occasion.

Thx Brett that worked.

How do I get the arrow below the bar it is referencing?

This shows at the top....

Oh I got it.

Change the y value to Low[0].
