Buy or sell at a tens place logic

[JGriff5646]

I am trying to learn C# and ninjascript. If I wanted a strategy to buy at the first 10s place below the opening price or sell at the first 10s place above the opening price how would I do this? Example, price opens at 4995 on mes. I want it to take a short position if it hits 5000 or a long position if it hits 4990.

I think in C# the math would be something like this:

public static void Main (string[] args) {
// Input the starting number
Console.Write("Enter the starting number: ");
int number = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());

// First 10s place above
int first10sPlaceAbove = (int)Math.Ceiling((double)number / 10) * 10;

// First 10s place below
int first10sPlaceBelow = (int)Math.Floor((double)number / 10) * 10;

Console.WriteLine("First 10s place above: " + first10sPlaceAbove);
Console.WriteLine("First 10s place below: " + first10sPlaceBelow);
}

But for ninjascript I want the starting number to be the opening price and I want the printed lines to be long and short positions. Any help is appreciated, thanks

Would it be like this:

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if (BarsInProgress != 0)
return;

if (CurrentBars[0] == 0)
{
// Get the opening price of the current bar
openingPrice = Bars.GetOpen(0);

// Calculate the first 10s place above and below the opening price
int first10sPlaceAbove = (int)Math.Ceiling(openingPrice / 10) * 10;
int first10sPlaceBelow = (int)Math.Floor(openingPrice / 10) * 10;

// Check if we have already placed orders
if (!Position.MarketPosition.HasAnyPosition)
{
// Place a sell order (short position) if the price crosses above the first 10s place
if (Close[0] > first10sPlaceAbove)
{
EnterShort();
}
// Place a buy order (long position) if the price crosses below the first 10s place
else if (Close[0] < first10sPlaceBelow)
{
EnterLong();
}
}
}
}

Hello JGriff5646,

To get the current bar open price you would use Open[0]

The other code that you supplied looks to be invalid, if you are using an external program to generate NinjaScript code please note that those programs will generally provide inaccurate or invalid code. I would suggest using the help guide to learn NinjaScript.

For the type you use for the price you should use a double so you retain the decimal, an int does not have a decimal.

To check the market position you can see the following link: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...etposition.htm

You can use Print statements in NinjaScript which lets you output what your script is doing to the output window similar to the console in C#.
