Strategy building

[Vinhasa]

Hi - I'm trying to figure out where I can find example configurations of functional strategies. The tutorial videos are simply "fill in these fields" with no explanation of specifically how things work, or over an hour long with no relevant details beyond the specific example strategy being built. The documentation is fairly frustrating in its lack of specificity in certain areas, and complete lack of functional examples to tinker with in the software itself.

Where can I find any working strategy examples to play with?

Hi,
As far as I know it's just a matter of learning the basics from doing research and then doing a lot of trial and error to figure out what works and what doesn't. There are some old webinar video's that explain the properties of the fields that are to be filled in, but since there is an endless amount of possibilities of configuring it there is no single best way to fill specific fields in. So just dive in and go figure it out.

Hello Vinhasa,

Are you referring to the Strategy Builder 301 and NinjaScript Editor 401 training videos made by NinjaTrader?

Below is a link to a forum post with helpful information about getting started with NinjaScript and includes links to these training videos.

In the Strategy Builder 301 video, which fields are not explained?


You can find working strategy examples in the reference samples (also linked in the forum post above).

And in the User App Share of the NinjaTrader Ecosystem.

I also have an example created with the Strategy Builder.
