Place order until market reaches a closePrice position value

[Javi26]

Hello,

Im new in NinjaTrader and I want to build an strategy using oif.txt files. The idea is to place a buy/sell order
in the current value of the market and close the position when the market value reaches a closePrice. Im playing
with 1 minute so I want to avoid seconds within this minute and play only with openPrice, highPrice, lowPrice
and closePrice. I want only to take in count the value of the closed minute.

How can I do that? Is it possible?

Many thanks.

Hi Javi26, thanks for your note.

The file interface is more for those who have an external program that can process market data and generate files within the "incoming" folder to submit an order through NinjaTrader. It would be out of the scope of support I can provide to help with an external program. This would be more straight forward to use the managed approach and develop the strategy with NinjaScript methods. I always recommend this introductory guide to NinjaScript from our colleague Chelsea:

https://ninjatrader.com/support/forum/forum/ninjatrader-8/indicator-development/97575-sample-scripts

There are also default strategies in the platform that you can look at through the NinjaScript editor.

Please let me know if I can assist any further.
