How to Make Strategy on Micro Trade from Data on Mini??

[Mr.Emini]

Hello,
I have a strategy that adheres to what ever chart it is attached to exactly as it is suppose to do. However, I have noticed that there is a slight difference between the Micro and Mini contracts thus it is causing the Micro to take trades that the Mini doesn't. How can I have the Micro only take the trades that the Mini is producing? Thanks in advance for your help!!

Hello Mr.Emini,

Add the Micro symbol with AddDataSeries().

Call order methods using BarsInProgressIndex 1 for the second series.

EnterLong(int barsInProgressIndex, int quantity, string signalName)
EnterLong(1, 1, "MySecondaryseriesEntryOrder");

Hello Chelsea,
Thanks for your reply!! However, I am not really experienced in coding. My apologies as I forgot to mention that this strategy was created with Strategy Builder. Is there anything I could do in Strategy Builder to implement your instructions?

Hello Mr. Emini,

No, not in the Strategy Builder which is designed to be really simple and cannot place orders to a secondary series.

You would need to unlock the script and code by hand.

Hello Chelsea,
Ok, thanks for the info!! Where would be a good place to watch videos or find out how to place the information in the strategy that you mentioned earlier?

Hello Mr. Emini,

We do have resources to help you begin creating NinjaScript Strategies/Indicators.

I'm providing a link to a support article with further helpful resources on getting started with C# and NinjaScript.

https://support.ninjatrader.com/s/article/Developer-Guide-Getting-Started-with-NinjaScript

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

I'm also providing a link to a pre-recorded set of videos 'Automate Your Trading with NinjaTrader's Strategy Builder' and 'NinjaScript Editor 401' for you to view at your own convenience.

NinjaScript Editor 401

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 support articles first:
Basic Programming Concepts

Also, below is a link to the NinjaScript developer guides.

https://support.ninjatrader.com/s/article/Developer-Guides

For general C# education I have personally found Dot Net Perls to be a great reference site with easy to understand examples.

https://www.dotnetperls.com/

We also have great resources in relation to Strategy Development on our Support Forum. There is a very active developer community in our support forum that supplements the responses provided by NinjaTrader support staff providing all users with an exceptional support experience.
Take me to your support forum!

There are a few Sample Automated Strategies which come pre-configured in NinjaTrader that you can use as a starting point. These are found under New -> NinjaScript Editor -> Strategy. You will see locked strategies where you can see the details of the code, but you will not be able to edit (you can though always create copies you can later edit via right click > Save as)

We also have some Reference samples online as well as ‘Tips and Tricks’ for both indicators and strategies:
Click here to see examples created by the support team
Click here to see our NinjaScript Reference Samples
Click here to see our NinjaScript Tips

These samples can be downloaded, installed and modified from NinjaTrader and hopefully serve as a good base for your custom works.

Also, below I am also linking you to the Educational Resources section of the Help Guide to help you get started with NinjaScript.

Further, the following link is to our help guide with an alphabetical reference list to all supported methods, properties, and objects that are used in NinjaScript.

You can also contact one of our professional NinjaScript Consultants or Educators who would be eager to create or modify this script at your request or assist you with your script.
