ATM / manual trading disables Strategy

[Turtle Trader]

Hello,

Is there any way to prevent an ATM on a Chart or Chart Trading with Indicators from Disabling a running Strategy on the same instrument?

It seems there is a design conflict in Ninja between Strategy (automated) and Chart / Indicator trading.

I would much prefer that the Strategy and signal Indicator work together on the Chart, but I don't see a way to do this.

I have a Strategy that is "decoupled" from the signal Indicator. The signal indicator is not instantiated in the Strategy, but is running on a chart where I can see what it is doing, in real time.

The Strategy "listens" on global variables for signals from an Indicator. The Strategy only listens and submits an ATM or exits a position. The indicator makes all the choices.

To make the trade management dynamic, the Indicator also tells the Strategy which ATM to use. This way I can have control of the trade dynamics by changing the strategy on the fly, and not have it hard coded in the Strategy.

However, there are situations where, if for example, I manually exit the position (I want to have full control, not the Strategy) that Ninja disables the Strategy.

Any way to get the two to work together in NT 7?

What about NT 8.0?


Thanks

Hello Turtle Trader,

Thank you for your post.

Closing a position started by a strategy will result in the strategy being disabled. There is not a way to work around this in NinjaTrader 7 nor NinjaTrader 8.

Well, I would prefer to have control over this and to not have NT force the Strategy to stop.

Is there a way to restart the Strategy programatically?

Anyone know what Multicharts Net does?

Hello Turtle Trader,

There is no way to re-enable a strategy through the code once it has been disabled.
