Simple backtest not working

[Asing]

Thanks Adam, I am able to get it to work by changing sessions.
I had another question: If I want to use a daily period for the signal entry and a intraday period for the trailing stop, how do I set the trailing stop to trigger off of the 5 min bars? I know about adding the bars objects, but do I add the 5 min bars as a parameter to the Trailing Stop?

the ddKeltnerChannel indicator

The Keltner channel included with NT uses SMA of the typical price as the center line and SMA at an offset. My version uses EMA of the close as the center line and ATR at an offset as suggested by Linda Raschke. Also, the ATR has its own period which can be different than the EMA period. I could not find out whether the EMA is based on close or typical price so I used close. I'll later modify ddKeltnerChannel to accommodate both close and typical price.

You would need to use the 5 minute bar objects in the calculation you are using for your stop loss.

Please take a look at our reference sample on Entering on one time frame and exiting on another:

If I am using the second data set for a Trailing Stop do I still need to initialize the SettrailingStop; and do I place the SetTrailingStop a second time in OnBarUpdate method after using a "If (BarsinProgress) statement ?

[NinjaTrader_Matthew]

You would want to use this in OnBarUpdate after the BarsInProgress statement.
