How do I set up strategy builder to enter and exit based on price change

Hello I am new to ninjatrader and would like to build a strategy to buy or sell based on the price change% from the days opening price.

Hello wallace15269,

Thanks for your post.

I recommend that you review the strategy builder help guide and either attend the free platform training on the strategy builder or watch a previous recording of the strategy builder webinar. These will serve as a good starting point to creating your strategy if you have not already done so.

Help guide: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...gy_builder.htm
Live Platform training (Strategy Builder every other Thursday): https://ninjatrader.com/PlatformTraining
Previous recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCyt...We0Nf&index=11

Please note that we do not provide strategy building/code writing services and if you would like it created for you, we can provide a link to 3rd party programmers who would be able to meet your needs.

To obtain the opening price of the session, you can use the platform indicator CurrentDayOHL and select the Open as the value plot in the conditions, You can the "offset" the current close price to find the difference (Offset is shown in the help guide) The difference would be in points and not percent so hopefully you can adjust your thinking to buy or sell based on points.
