Default Automate Trade based on Aroon Oscillator

HELLO,

I am new to Ninja Trader since figuring out that the conditional orders on the thinkorswim platform are not performing as expected. While I suspect that someone over there knows how to make them work, I have been unable to get in touch with them, so I am on to new horizons with Ninja Trader. I'm using the free platform and free yahoo data for testing.

I am looking to automate a trade using the Aroons Oscillator with the EUR/USD on a 1 minute chart.

I have never used Ninja Trader with any regularity before and am finding it more challenging than I thought it would be. I have not yet even executed my first paper trade.

The parameters as written for the thinkorswim platform are as follows:

ORDER: Sell EUR/USD to Open at Market

CONDITIONAL SYNTAX: AroonOscillator()."UpDownDiff" crosses below AroonOscillator()."OverBought";1m' is TRUE

I'd like to make this work in Ninja Trader. Some hand-holding to get me started with this is greatly appreciated!!

Ted, as courtesy I've attached a simple strategy done with our point and click wizard interface to get you started, it's entering Short as the AroonOsc crosses below 80 (configurable as input).

More info on our wizard interface could be reviewed here - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...rd_screens.htm
