New to Ninja and C# language need Help

[Oliver]

I just got Ninja and I have no experience whatsoever with C#.
I want to enter and exit a few seconds before the close when I have a buy or sell signal.

I have tried with the NinjaScript Wizard but I always exit or enter on the next day's open after my strategy gives a signal.

Can someone clearly write to me a bogus strategy that gets you in or out (@market) just a few seconds before the close of the day (i.e. 10 seconds before 4pm).

You need to add in code a tick data series or wait for NT8

sorry but could you write me the exact NinjaScript in order to achieve what I want to do.
I don't think I can do this with the wizard can I?

I'm starting just now to learn C#.
This I assume will take a few months after which I will switch to NinjaScript.

For now, however, I would really appreciate your guidance

Hi Oliver,

Relatively new myself, but have figured this one. Lets say in the strategy window you select 5mins as time frame. All strategy decisions are decided at the end of the 5min bar and so only action just after. By adding and referencing tick data you can decide tick by tick, but still use a 5min indicator such as 5min bollinger and exit the moment it passes the middle line, not at the end of thet 5min bar

You should recognize the below section in the strategy and add tick data there.
************************************************** ***********
protectedoverridevoid Initialize()
{
//Adding Tick data series for intrabar orders, while still using 5min indicators
Add(PeriodType.Tick,1);
CalculateOnBarClose = true;
}
********************************
Then reference it where you need to.
*********************
// Reference Tick data
if (BarsInProgress == 1 )
{
Do Something
}
**************
Be warned some of my strategies aare killing my memory as there is a lot of tick and tick decisions...currently looking at improving performance enter C# programming friend :-)

This isn't a reply to this thread, however I would like to know if anyone as this specific indicator available.many thanks in advance.
Regression Channel V2
Exported using NT 7.0.1000.6

This indicator is an enhanced version of the NinjaTrader Regression Channel Indicator.

The indicator calculates the same values for the linear regression as the default NinjaTrader indicator does, but uses a modified Plot() method.

If you scroll the chart horizontally, this indicator will display the regression channel for the last bar painted on the chart, while the NinjaTrader indicator always displays the regression channel for the last bar of the data base.

To understand how it works, just put both indicators - the NinjaTrader default indicator and this indicator - on your chart and scroll horizontally, and you will notice the difference.

Update July 23, 2011: Indicator updated to work with non-equidistant bar spacing, as used by multi-series charts.
