Execute strategy on one chart, but entry / exist on different symbol

[quicksandatl]

Hi there,

exit* not exist... typo haha

I have an ES future strategy that I would simply like to execute MES orders instead. Is there a straightforward way to do this in the strategy builder? Or is there some simple code I can insert into my NinjaScript?

Thank you

Hello quicksandatl,

Thanks for your post.

This would require adding a secondary additional data series to your strategy and submitting orders to the added series.

The AddDataSeries() method would be used to add the MES instrument to the NinjaScript strategy. Then, you could submit orders to the added series by using the Entry/Exit method syntax that allows you to specify the barsInProgressIndex you want to submit the order to.

The primary data series the script is running on would be BarsInProgress 0. The first added series in the script will have a BarsInProgress of 1.

Note that this would need to be manually programmed in a NinjaScript Editor window and cannot be set up in the Strategy Builder.

For example, the syntax to enter a long market position would look like this:

EnterLong(int barsInProgressIndex, int quantity, string signalName)

To submit the order to the first added secondary series, the code might look something like this:

EnterLong(1, 1, "LongEntry");

See the help guide documentation below for more information.
