Need help with Condition Builder

[amberwest]

Hi, I'm new to NinjaTrader and need a little help with the Condition Builder on Strategy Wizard.

I read the User Help Guide, and can't find how to set a very basic strategy to run solely on the indicators and NOT the price.

For instance: I'm trying to set the conditions for a strategy to Enter Long when the ParSar crosses below the 5-SMA. And to Enter Short when it crosses above the 5-SMA.

I set the conditions to do that, but it seems to enter based on when the price (candle) crosses the 5-SMA and not the ParSar dot.

Any suggestions out there? Thanks very much!

Here is an image to get you started.

This is how to build the condition:

PSAR crosses below 5 period SMA

Thanks Ray, I appreciate your reply.

I did that when I set the conditions. The problem I seem to have is that when I set the Action to enter long and exit short, it engages the trade when the candle/price crosses the 5-SMA and not the ParSar dot.

I need to know if there is a way to set the condition to only engage based on the indicator and NOT the price/candle.

Can you help me with that part please?

Thanks again!

Can anyone please help me with this?

I need to know if there is a way to set the condition to only engage based on the indicator and NOT the price/candle.

I set up the conditions on the Strategy Wizard, the problem I'm having is the trade engages when the price/candle crosses the 5-SMA, NOT the ParSar dot. I just need the trade to enter on the indicator alone.

Any ideas out there?

Thanks!

What I showed you does exaclty what you want and NOT when price crosses the SMA. It could very well be that price crosses the SMA at the same time but I assure you that this condition checks the value of PSAR as crossing below.

Ok Ray, I try it again and see what happens.

Thanks for your help!
