Hello,

Thank you for the questions.

In a Strategy in NinjaTrader, you can control the entire order logic using your own logic that you write.

So if you wanted to check if you are short Y and the price crosses above a threshold, place a long order, that is certainly possible. The rest of the logic would also be possible it just depends on how you write it for how it will work.

It really depends on how you would be creating the strategy on what logic you would use. There are the options of manually coding a strategy or using the strategy wizard. The wizard is a limited point and click system, manually coding will of course give you the full flexibility that NinjaTrader can offer.

For more information on strategy development we do have a video that covers the wizard to get you familiar with the processes. After that if you will be manually coding I can provide additional resources on this.

Hello,

You would need to select the account you want to use in the Strategy properties and Enable it.

For more information on this we have a few documents that show the ways to use strategies:

http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt7/strategies_tab2.htm

http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt7/running_a_ninjascript_strategy.htm

After reviewing the documents if anything is unclear, please let me know.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Hello,

There is the option in its properties to "Exit On Close", You can find this option if you scroll to the "Order Handling" section of the strategies properties.

You can find more information on this on the first link I had posted, it is in the Understanding strategy properties section.

http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt7/index.html?running_a_ninjascript_strategy.htm

Exit on Close will use the amount of seconds you define and automatically submit exit orders to close the positions.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Hello,

Thank you for the question.

For realtime trades you can use the Trade Performance collection. http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...ub=performance

This you can get the Gross amounts of profit or loss for this specific strategy, you could then use this logically to do actions in the strategy.

There is also a good reference example here: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ead.php?t=4084

For your second question, the answer would be no. Your strategy is being run directly from your PC, any logic that controls the order would not be on the server.

If the Internet does go out, it is recommended to contact the broker by phone immediately to manage any positions you may have as NinjaTrader will be unable to do any of its logic if it can not connect to the Internet.

I have not seen anything specific with top step accounts and strategies. Do you have any existing positions on the account? If so this may be caused by the strategies "wait until flat" setting. You could look into the account for any positions and also check the Tools -> Options -> Strategies -> NinjaScript tab for what you have "Wait until flat" set to.

I look forward to being of further assistance.
