Strategy Wizard

For Patrick and Koganam (and michi08)

Hi all....

Isn't there a way, using the wizard, to set Variable0 upon execution of the order, which will remain true after the exit of that order?

Like:

If:
MA1 > MA2;
&& Variable0 = 0; //which it does by default

EnterLong;
Variable0=1;

Now the conditions necessary to execute another order are no longer valid.

Wouldn't that work?

Can someone from NinjaTrader respond of that question.

Thank you

Certainly a workable approach to give you exactly one trade for the duration of the chart.

You now then have to figure out how to reset your variable, so that new trades may be taken. I suppose some kind of time filter might be viable.

As I said, I do not really wish to explore the convolutions that might be necessary to use the wizard to perform this particular scenario: there is just so much better control by manually coding the specifications, especially when one starts to enter with LimitOrders, which one really should.

Hello Aurum and michi08,

Thank you for your posts.

There is no option to perform actions on executions in the Strategy Wizard. This would need to be developed after unlocking the code. You can look into OnExecution for more information: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...nexecution.htm
