[IcyRam]

Hi Chris,
How can we buy the open price automatically using NT?

Hi IcyRam, thanks for posting. I moved this to a new topic from the old one here:

https://ninjatrader.com/support/forum/forum/ninjatrader-8/strategy-development/1118367-how-to-buy-at-the-opening-price-at-the-instance-of-a-new-bar#post1197634

While running a strategy OnBarClose, to submit a buy at the open price you would submit a buy or sell limit order depending on where the close price is e.g.

if(Close[0] > Open[0])
EnterLongLimit(Open[0]);

We have a guide here for getting started with NInjaScript strategies:
