Hi,

I can't figure out how to write the strategy I want. I would like to enter long trades on a 1 min chart when the macd(12,26,9) is above the zero line and the positive DI is above the negative di. I will get in the trade as soon as the adx starts to slant upwards. My stop is 3.5 pts and my target is 5 pts. do u know how i do this with the ninja script?
thanks

Hello buyahh72,

Yes, this is possible to create using our strategy wizard, which is a point and click interface for defining trade conditions and actions.

Please see this help guide article on the condition builder:
http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt7/condition_builder.htm

The two sub sections that are most relevant for you are:
Indicator to value comparisons and
Comparing plot values in multi plot indicators:

You can also compare rising and falling conditions in the strategy wizard. This sample can help with this:
Using Rising and Falling conditions in the Strategy Wizard

Best with this sample is to import into your platform, and then you can edit the strategy to see how these conditions can be defined with the condition builder.
