indicators/charts/formulas

[ntrmj]

Hi,

I am new to NinjaTrader(NT) indicators/charts/formulas. I am seeking help.

1. Attached few data of S&P 500 in excel, Column H has difference between the current day and the previous day close price. I need a buy/sell indicator in the NinjaTrader chart with Buy or Sell indicator based of the difference column. The simple logic is I need a sell indicator at when the difference is negative, need a buy indicator when the difference is positive. Pls help with formulas.

2. I wanted above to be stored as a formula/indicator so that I can back test the same with EOD data, 1 minute, 5 minute data for may index and stocks.

3. Also when a Buy indacotr is triggered, I wanted to place automated buy order in the NT chart(I guess this is my ATM strategy), like wise a sell order too.

Above 3 points i need help.

thanks
ntrmj

Hello ntrmj,

Thank you for your note.

To build a strategy which will enter long if the previous bar is higher than the current bar, you would build a condition of Close[0] <Close[1], and an action of enter long. I put together a sample strategy which will accomplish this on the long side and you could apply this strategy to a daily or minute time frame.

To build the short aspect of your strategy, at the bottom of the conditions and actions page, you’ll select Set 2 and define like I’ve done in set 1, but use enter short and change the operator from less than to greater than.

The strategy is build using the wizard, so after importing it I suggest going to Control Center>New>Strategy Builder and selecting the strategy to see how its built.

To Import a NinjaScript into NinjaTrader 8 do the following:
From the Control Center window select Tools -> Import-> NinjaScript...
Find the file location.

Please let us know if you need further assistance.

Alan,

Thanks for your help, that’s perfect.

Attached Nt_data_graph.zip, pls take a look at the excel file.

1. Date Open High Low Close Adj Close* Volume are column heading.

2. Column H(Strategy) contains a simple Strategy with excel formula

3. Column I (Cumulative) contains the cumulative values for column H.

4. The graph under "Raw Data" contains the Bar chart of raw data

5. The graph under "Graph for Cumulative data" contains the line chart of cumulative value.

I am seeking your help in plotting a chart in Ninja trader 8 as same in excel.

Hope I clarified what is in my mind, have a good day.

Hello ntrmj,

To do this, you would have to create a custom series, for which you’d set to the difference between Close[0] -Close[1].

See Using a series or dataseries object to store calculations,

You could then use a loop to sum the previous data points. I would suggest seeing Getting a sum of closing prices” link below,

You should see Multi Colored plots for an example of adding plots.
