Spread indicator - Automated

[jmahon]

Hi all,

I am trying to place a short order automatically when the high of the spread indicator is above 0.0005

Seems like i have everything setup correctly but for some reason its not working when i run it live.

Calculation needs to be done on each tick and i have that selected.

have included some images below.

Anyone know why this is not working?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello jmahon,

Thanks for your post.

If your condition is not triggering an order then you would need to debug your strategy to find out why. In the strategy builder you can use a Print statement to output information to the New>Ninjascript output window. The Print statement in the strategy builder has a string builder which allows you to print text information and numerical values. I would suggest printing the values used in the condition that would place the order, in this case the value of the "SpreadHigh".

Here is a short video that walks through building a print statement in the strategy builder to find in the example used when a bool changes from true to false. https://paul-ninjatrader.tinytake.co...NV8xMDk5MDc5Nw
