Using Variables in Strategy Builder

01-22-2022, 07:35 PM

I see where you can create user variables in strategy builder, but I don't understand how to set them. I'm assuming that after your logic, in the "do this" section I can define (or redefine) variables. I'm just not sure how.

Can you help?

Hello Robeeq,

In the 'Do the following section', click add, double click the Misc folder to expand, all user variables (not inputs) will show here where you can set the value.

Screenshot attached.

Below are links to a few examples that set variables.

Entering trade when conditions don't happen simultaneasly - NinjaTrader Support Forum

https://ninjatrader.com/support/forum/forum/ninjatrader-8/strategy-development/1130921-entering-trade-when-conditions-don-t-happen-simultaneasly?p=1131172#post1131172

Hi, To improve a strategy, I would like the condition to enter a trade to be triggered only after a second crossing happens. Meaning, for instance we have a sthocastics crossing, but the strategy would only trigger when a crossing between 2 emas happen. Would the looking back N bars work? Can it be done within the builder
