strategy activation nt7

[bizzz10]

hello
I work with multiple strategies at one time on the same product. long and short.
How do I set up a specific long strategy not to activate and take trades if another long strategy is in a position
I would like that specific strategy to automatically activate and take trades only if there are no active positions.
is it possible to do that? if yes could anyone help me with the code?
thanks

Hello bizzz10,

Thanks for writing in.

Many simple strategies can be made in the Strategy Wizard of NinjaTrader 7. You will not be able to use the Strategy Wizard to check the account position across multiple strategies or manual trades, but it can manage the strategy position for itself and manage several positions within that strategy.

I have created a video that demonstrates how to create enter long into the market using a specific signalName when the current market position for that strategy is flat.

See video here: https://www.screencast.com/t/eT5OAJ1w9

Documentation on these components can be found in the help guide if you are curious about how the code produced by the Strategy Wizard works. For example, I will provide a snippet from the EnterLong() order method that explains what the arguments mean.

signalName - User defined signal name identifying the order generated. Max 50 characters.
quantity - Entry order quantity.
barsInProgressIndex - The index of the Bars object the order is to be submitted against. See the BarsInProgress property. This determines what instrument the order is submitted for.

You can create additional conditions with logic to enter with multiple positions, and you can use logic to control entry orders from being submitted when another entry has been submitted.

Please take some time to view the recorded Strategy Wizard webinar below. You may also wish to attend a Strategy Builder webinar if you would like to investigate the features of the NinjaTrader 8 Strategy Builder and ask the presenter any questions you may have on it.

If you do not have a programming background and would like someone to program the strategy for you, I could have a member of our Business Development team pass over a list of NinjaScript Consultants who would be happy to write this code for you. If that is the case, please write in to platformsupport[at]ninjatrader[dot]com with the text "Attn Jim." and a link to this forum thread. http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ad.php?t=98249

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.
