Indicator from NQ trigger YM

[jenishij]

Hello Team,

I am looking for some guidance to enter/exit trade of YM based on the trigger generated from NQ. Ie, when NQ reached a specific value (sma 20), initiate a trade at YM.

Thanks in advance.

Hello jenishij,

Thank you for your post.

I suggest starting with the following page about multi-time frame & instrument scripts:

• https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...nstruments.htm
  • Most relevant sections for this question are "Using Bars Objects as Input to Indicator Methods" and "Entering, Exiting and Retrieving Position Information"

You could use YM as the primary series, then call AddDataSeries() to add an NQ series to the strategy:

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/adddataseries.htm

Then, you would set up whichever conditions, such as a specific value of the SMA 20 using the NQ as input. When the desired conditions are met, you would submit trades on the primary YM series. The platform comes with a strategy called "Sample Multi Instrument" that you may also review the source code for in the NinjaScript Editor as an example.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance.
