ninjatrader won't allow me to make a basic strategy

[mattismyth]

Trying to make a strategy that plays an alert when the high of the current bar is <= the high of the previous bar AND when the low of the current bar is >= the low of the previous bar.

Can someone create this for me and post it. I'd be very grateful. Thanks.

Mattismyth,

I am happy to assist you.

Are wanting to program this strategy or are you relying on the Strategy Wizard? Will the strategy do anything other than alerts? If not, please use the strategy I created for you attached.

In the Strategy Wizard, after you get past the "General" and "User Defined Inputs" sections by clicking "next", you can create a condition by selecting "Add", then setting up a current High is <= the High of previous bar condition. Then in the "Do the following" section, click "Add" > go to Misc > Alert. Then you can set up all the necessary parameters such as its priority, the message it displays, the sound it makes when triggered, etc.

If you are trying to code it yourself, you will want something like the following :

if ( High[0] <= High[1] )
{
     Alert("Current High <= previous High!", NinjaTrader.Cbi.Priority.High, "H0<=H1", "Alert1.wav",10, Color.Red, Color.Yellow);
}

if ( Low[0] >= Low[1] )
{
     Alert("Current Low >= previous Low!", NinjaTrader.Cbi.Priority.High, "L0>=L1", "Alert1.wav",10, Color.Blue, Color.Yellow);
}
