Stop Loss Calculation on Dragging Line

[orbito]

Hello, im completly new to the Ninjatrader and they Script. I come from the Metatrader.
I have worked the last year with a practical stop line on the chart that automatic calculate the lot size on a dollar amount between the line and the actual price, if i move the line over the price for short and if i drag the line under the price for long.

is that possible to make a little strategy script that do this for me? also draw a movable line on the chart that calculate the position size for maximal dollar amount (maybe 250/ input variabel) between the line and the actual price and put the number automaticly in the chart trader?

Thank you for help
Best regards
Orbito

Hello orbito,

Thanks for your post.

It could be possible to draw a line on a chart and submit an order when the market price reaches that drawn line on the chart.

Draw methods: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...t8/drawing.htm

If you are referring to a manually drawn line on the chart, you would need to loop through the DrawObjects collection to find the manually drawn line on the chart.

Note that automatically calculating a lot size based on a dollar amount would require you to come up with custom logic to accomplish this. The quantity of the order submitted would be defined in your order Entry method when you call it, not in Chart Trader.

NinjaTrader utilizes the C# programming language for developing indicators and strategies.

The best way to begin learning NinjaScript is to use the Strategy Builder. With the Strategy Builder, you can set up conditions and variables and then see the generated code in the NinjaScript Editor by clicking the View Code button.

Here is a link to our publicly available training videos, 'Strategy Builder 301' and 'NinjaScript Editor 401', for you to view at your own convenience.

I am also linking you to the Educational Resources section of the Help Guide to help you get started with NinjaScript:

If you are new to C#, to get a basic foundation for the concepts and syntax used in NinjaScript I would recommend this section of articles in our help guide first:

And the MSDN (Microsft Developers Network) C# Language Reference.

Thank you for Answere. I have no idea how to code that. maybe anone can help me. that should not send a order if the price reach the line. the line are the stop pric so the calculation should be relatim from there to the actual price if i move the line. that can be a stop line drawing by the script but movable.
