Hi there!
I just now started to try to create a custom strategy. But all tutorials are using EMA cross strategies as examples. What i want is to simply trigger a signal when a indicator reaches a certain value. In this case a negative value. How can i do this? I tried making a "input" with this negative number, but i get the message that negative numbers are not allowed, so I'm clearly doing something wrong. Thx!

Hello GKRuubster,

Thank you for your note.

Here's a link to our help guide that goes over specifically making indicator-value comparisons:

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/index.html?strategybuilder_condition_builder.htm#HowToMakeIndicatorToValueComparisons

You should be able to make the input a negative number. Just make sure you set the Min value for the input to something REALLY negative, like -999999.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.
