I Can Totally Automatic My System, Yes?

[Noitartst]

I wonder...I ain't cut out for scalping, at least emotionally, but to watch a system trade for me, I wonder.

Such would allow for detachment, which I think suits me, and my desire to trust the law of averages.

How doable, is it?

Hi Noitartst,

Yes, you can write any logic into a strategy and have it trade for you.

This would be very doable.

We do have resources to help you begin creating NinjaScript Strategies/Indicators.

The best way to begin learning NinjaScript is to use the Strategy Wizard. With the Strategy Wizard you can setup conditions and variables and then see the generated code in the NinjaScript Editor by clicking the View Code button.

I'm also proving a link to a recently recorded 'Automated Strategy Development Webinar' video for you to view at your own convenience: Automated Strategy Development Level 1 - NinjaTrader Training - 3/26/2013

We also have great resources in relation to Strategy Development on our Support Forum. There is a very active developer community in our support forum that supplements the responses provided by NinjaTrader support staff providing all users with an exceptional support experience.
Take me to your support forum!

There are a few Sample Automated Strategies which come pre-configured in NinjaTrader that you can use as a starting point. These are found under Tools--> Edit NinjaScript--> Strategy. You will see locked strategies where you can see the details of the code, but you will not be able to edit (you can though always create copies you can later edit via right click > Save as)

We also have some Reference samples online as well as ‘Tips and Tricks’ for both indicators and strategies:
Click here to see our NinjaScript Reference Samples
Click here to see our NinjaScript Tips

These samples can be downloaded, installed and modified from NinjaTrader and hopefully serve as a good base for your custom works.

Further, the following link is to our help guide with an alphabetical reference list to all supported methods, properties, and objects that are used in NinjaScript.

We also have a few tutorials in our help guide for both Indicators and Strategies.

Thank you; for right now, I'm simply trying to develop a system, am thus still trying to figure out which indicators to use, so I appreciate those tutorials.

I want to buy low, and sell high...such I all I know. What indicators best illuminate this simple premise?

Hi Noitartst,

To create a strategy you first need to come up with a plan. You need criteria that you can code as logic in your strategy.

For example:
How will you determine that the price is low? Are you looking for a drop in price of a specific amount of ticks?

Are you using an indictator such as the SMA to determine that the price is lower than the open of the day?

How will you determine that the price is high?

Pretty much all strategies are created by everyone try and buy low and sell high or sell high and buy low. But determining this requires a pattern to be recognized and logic to be created that recognizes the pattern.

I cannot create this logic for you. You will need to come up with trading ideas on your own.

There are indicators supplied with NinjaTrader you can call. There are examples of strategies on the forum which I am linking below.
