Help modifying my strategy

[Brandon9821]

Hello, I am trying to get my strategy to work as I want it to but I am having difficulty with understanding variables, bool, storing prices etc. I have attached a video of the simple action I want my automated strategy to perform.

Video: https://share.icloud.com/photos/07EN...7tp4pbi43jGTqA

As shown in video: When the Indicator gives a signal of "2", this is determined as a breakout long. As you see above the signal bar, a horizontal entry line is made. When there is a signal of "2", I want to open a trade 1 tick above the high of that signal bar. I want the order to be placed at this level and REMAIN at that price level until the price is met or the next breakout signal occurs. If another breakout signal occurs, it would then repeat this action. Currently I can only open a trade if the bar RIGHT AFTER the signal bar breaks 1 tick above the signal bar (EnterLong[0]+1*ticksize). And if the bar RIGHT AFTER doesnt meet this level, a order is never placed. I want it to be placed regardless or not if the next bar breaks that level

**Signal of "2" is only there for 1 bar, doesn't reoccur
**Signal "2" is long breakout

If anyone can help modify my attached strategy I will be very grateful, thank you!

Also, I have been using the Strategy Builder to make this strategy rather than writing code

Hello Brandon9821,

Thanks for your post, glad you are specifying the Strategy Builder as what you are using.

In the Strategy Builder, when you place a limit or stop order, these orders will automatically cancel if not filled on the same bar they are submitted on. Therefore to keep the order effectively in place you need to resubmit the order on each new bar until it fills or the need for the order changes.

If you want to continue creating strategies it would be in your best interest to learn about how to use bools, how to save price into variables, If you haven't been through the educations resources for the Strategy Builder, please see:

For your strategy, in the set where you are placing the order is where you would set a bool variable to true and where you would save the price that you want to submit the order. In a new set, you would have two conditions to check, is the current market position flat and is the bool true, if both conditions are true then place the order at the price saved. As long as the bool remains true and the current position is flat, the order will be resubmitted, keeping it active. Once the order fills the market position is no longer flat so the order would no longer be resubmitted, or if the bool is changed to false the order would no longer resubmitted.

You would likely need another set with yet further conditions that would be used to then reset the bool back to false.

To be clear we cannot provide strategy writing services and we can leave this thread open for anyone that would like to do this for you.

Alternately if you want your strategy created for you, we can provide a reference to 3rd party programmers in the NinjaTrader ecosystem that would be able to meet your needs.
