Enter on open of next bar

[karthik007]

Hello,

I am using a 2000 tick chart on ES. I am practicing trading using NT.

Can anybody tell me the fastest way to enter long/short on the open of next 2000 tick bar ?

Do I need to build a strategy ? I am a discretionary trader. So when I see my setup forming, I would like to enable this function of going long/short on the open of next 2000 tick bar. Even if it is not the fastest way to enter, I just want to know how to enter a trade automatically on the open of next bar. When there is no setup, I want this to be disabled.

Anybody knows how to do this ?

Thanks.
Karthik.

Hello Karthik,

Thank you for writing in.

You would need to create a custom NinjaScript strategy to accomplish this.

We do have resources to help you begin creating NinjaScript Strategies/Indicators.

The best way to begin learning NinjaScript is to use the Strategy Wizard. With the Strategy Wizard you can setup conditions and variables and then see the generated code in the NinjaScript Editor by clicking the View Code button.

I'm also proving a link to a recently recorded 'Automated Strategy Development Webinar' video for you to view at your own convenience: Automated Strategy Development Level 1 - NinjaTrader Training - 3/26/2013

We also have great resources in relation to Strategy Development on our Support Forum. There is a very active developer community in our support forum that supplements the responses provided by NinjaTrader support staff providing all users with an exceptional support experience.
Take me to your support forum!

There are a few Sample Automated Strategies which come pre-configured in NinjaTrader that you can use as a starting point. These are found under Tools--> Edit NinjaScript--> Strategy. You will see locked strategies where you can see the details of the code, but you will not be able to edit (you can though always create copies you can later edit via right click > Save as)

We also have some Reference samples online as well as ‘Tips and Tricks’ for both indicators and strategies:
Click here to see our NinjaScript Reference Samples
Click here to see our NinjaScript Tips

These samples can be downloaded, installed and modified from NinjaTrader and hopefully serve as a good base for your custom works.

Further, the following link is to our help guide with an alphabetical reference list to all supported methods, properties, and objects that are used in NinjaScript.

We also have a few tutorials in our help guide for both Indicators and Strategies.

Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.
