instructions on strategy

[designer]

Do you have a video or instructions on how to create a strategy with the Strategy Wizard based on an indicator of an indicator say the Weighted Moving Average of CCI crossing up thru a value?
Thanks

designer,

Thank you for your post.

We do not have a video on how to make this particular strategy. However it is possible to nest within an indicator. From our Help Guide on ' How to use indicator inputs in other indicators'

You can use indicators as input for other indicators... actually, you can nest indicators within indicators infinitely if you really wanted to!

The following example is an example of applying a simple moving average (SMA) to a 14 period ADX indicator and is one of many possible combinations.

1.Expand the Indicator category and select SMA indicator
2.Set Input series to the ADX indicator by pressing the "..." button to open the Value window

3.Select the ADX indicator and set any properties in the Parameters window

You could do the same as above with a WMA and the CCI. Simply select the WMA frist series, then open the Input series and select the CCI and define the periods you wish to use for both.

Please let me know if you need further assistance.

Thanks,
I created the strategy ok, the strategy was set to plot the indicator on the chart. It is ploting on the chart panel, how do I get it to plot in panel 2? I can not find a setting for that in the indicator properties as in all indicators. Thanks

Hello,

You would not be able to plot a strategy in the 2nd panel. Any plots associated with the strategy will show up in the first panel.

I would suggest setting the strategy to not plot the indicators and then manually adding your indicators to the chart.

I like to change the strategy settings often, It would be too much trouble to change the indicators manually every time.
This feature was available in Ninja Trader version 6.5. Why was it removed in 7?
Can you bring it back?
Thanks

Hello,

Not through the strategy wizard, however if you unlock the code you can apply this to the 2nd panel.

protected override void Initialize()
        {
            WMA(ADX(14), 14).Panel = 2;
            Add(WMA(ADX(14), 14));
            
        }

Please see our sample on adding indicators to strategies for more information:

Matthew Thanks
You said..."then manually adding your indicators to the chart". Do you have instructions on how to create an indicator of an indicator with the Wizzard.
Thanks
