Signal for different security

[Scarlett09]

Hi,

In NinjaScript, what code do I use for the following:

When my indicators produce a signal to go Long equities, say on my ES chart, what code do I use to Enter a Long position on a different security, such as the XLF?

Vice Versa for Shorts.

Thank you,

Hello,

You would need to create a multi-instrument strategy to do so.

Please have a look at our sample under Tools--> Edit NinjaScript--> Strategy--> SamleMultiInstrument

More information on these options can be found below:

Back to this Multi-Instrument Strategy question.

In the Sample Multi-Instrument Strategy example on Line 67 the code is:
(ADX(14)[0] > 30 && ADX(BarsArray[1], 14)[0] > 30)

1) In my Multi-Instrument Strategy that I am trying to build I am not using ADX but a custom indicator. How do I effectively remove this code? I am not concerned about if a "both instruments are trending". Currently if I just delete the line I am not able to Enable the strategy.

2) When keeping the above line of code in the strategy I can Enable the strategy but how do I have the 2nd symbol be traded and not the primary security? For example if I place the Sample MI Strategy on M6B 03-13 and want M6E 03-13 to be traded the strategy is still trading M6B.

Thank you,

Could you attach the script you're using so that I can examine it. As the sample strategy I have is not the same as yours and I want to verify any changes you've made

you can find it in (MY)Documents\NinjaTrader 7\bin\Custom\Strategy

You have to use the enter overload that allows you to input the barsInProgressIndex

EnterLong(int barsInProgressIndex, int quantity, string signalName)
