Default Getting autotrader to take trades

OK, new to Ninja, trying to extract myself from TradeStation. Got an autotrader built, applied it to a chart, but it doesn't take trades, either on the sim account or live. It does for the programmer. I use patsystems for the data feed, he uses esignal(not sure if this matters).

Any help here?

Thanks,

Moneyman

Hi moneyman,

Welcome to the NinjaTrader Support Forums. Just to confirm, you are talking about a NinjaScript Strategy correct? Please first connect to your data provider, pull up a chart that is receiving streaming data, and then add the strategy onto the chart. Then take a look in the Control Center logs for any errors.

Try throwing on the SampleMACrossOver strategy and see if that trades.

Tried that, and it showed previous trades from the day on the chart. Didn't try it long enough to see if it was taking trades, but having the previous trades show up on the chart was more than my strategy was showing.
