BackTesting Historical Levels From Excel

[simple_goodoboy]

Hello,

I trade support and resistance breakouts.

I would like to backtest using historical data /ES support and resistance I have in a spreadsheet.

Is there away I can import these levels on NinjaTrader chart and write a code to backtest these level?

Please see screenshot of the levels.

Thank you,

Hello simple_goodoboy,

It would be possible create a script that draws these lines.

If the file is a .cvs file you can read this as a text file and split the values by comma or semicolon depending on the way the file is delimited.

Below is a link to a reference sample that demonstrates reading from a text file.

If you would like to take on learning NinjaScript, we have a fully documented help guide which will help you get started with Ninja Script. You will find language references to all of the methods and functions you will be using. You will also see a tutorial section which will help you create your first indicator and get you started with some of these concepts.
A link to our Help Guide with tutorials can be found below:

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 pre-recorded set of videos 'Strategy Wizard 301' and 'NinjaScript Editor 401' for you to view at your own convenience.
