I am in the process of trying to do the same - build a strategy to test some 30min ORB setups. So I would interested to know how to code it too in Ninja script. I started to build the strategy but am not sure how to pull in the High and low of the first 30 min bar into the 5min chart series to execute trades based on price closing above or below the 30min high or low. Specifically I am not sure how to construct that condition (checking for current 5min bars close against the 30min OR range) in the builder.

Hello padaytrading,

Thank you for oyur note.

If you would like to check the close price of one bar type/time frame compared to another bar type/time frame, you will first need to add any additional data series on the "Additional data" screen of the builder:

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/index.html?builder_screens.htm#UnderstandingTheAdditrionalDataScreen

Next, you can compare the close price of two data series on the "Conditions and actions" screen. I have created a video example that shows the steps of adding an additional 30 minute series for the same as the primary instrument, and if you were to load the strategy on a 5 minute series then you could compare the close of the primary 5-min series to the added 30-min series such as the example in the video:

Here is a help guide page with example conditions for the condition builder, including price data comparisons:

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.
