combining strategies?

[one_bacon_bit]

hello
I have two strategies one to find entry patterns (short or long) and one that specifies the entry prices. How do I combine both to make one strategy of both? That is this way I can have different entry exit strategies to combine with potential entry and exit patterns. So, if after pattern exits enter when price conditions are true. And enter at that price (for backtesting and forward testing). Then while long, no other long entries or short entries until my sell condition exits me or I get stopped out. Hm, that maybe a bit much but any and all input is appreciated.
have a great week.

Welcome to our forums here one_bacon_bit - Strategies would be per default not cross communicate, so if you're for example in one continously calculating limit entry prices, then you could move this code to an indicator and then access the plots it would create in your strategy script monitoring for the pattern entry conditions.

For working with multiple entry signal / conditions in one script, please also see this sample - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ead.php?t=3225

thanks for the examples.... just started looking at scripting and it'll take some time to get the feel for it. On a side note, I've noticed that the market analyzer spits out the updated prices and even at end of day some tickers don't update on the charts. Is this a yahoo issue or am i missing a settings check somewhere?
take care.

one_bacon_bit, you're welcome - could be the case with the Yahoo connection, it's just a simulated real-time feed - the daily candles would from them natively would be updated as the opening of the new bar is seen, so next day open.
