Strategy condition question

[adams016]

Hi, was hoping someone could help with a quick query I have. I have a short only strategy that I have, it's very simple and I'm happy with it. I used strategy builder for it. It executes short positions on the daily chart. I wanted to test something new out...for the strategy to only execute short positions on the daily if the weekly ALSO confirms. I could do this manually on two seperate charts and execute manually but would like to do it this way (for backtest purposes too). Is there an easy way around this? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Hello adams016,
Thanks for your post.

You would need to add a "Week" series to your script to check that value. Once you add the series you can set it as the Input series for any price/indicator comparison.

Here are some samples of common conditions you may want to create in the Strategy Builder: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...on_builder.htm

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks Josh. Can it all be done in strategy builder or is any coding required in script?

adams016,

You would be able to add a "Week" series in the Strategy Builder from the "Additional Data" screen

As far as unlocking the script, that would depend on your logic. If you are simply comparing indicator or price values of the additional data series I would expect to be able to accomplish this from within the Strategy Builder.
