Linebreak strategy

[babouin77]

do you have a sample code for the three line breaks so that we can start from?

Hello babouin77,

Thanks for the post.

It is not clear what you mean by 3 line break, do you mean a 3 line break data series? You can use the AddLineBreak method to add data.

Additionally please let me know if this question is for NT8 it looks like this is a very old post for NT7.

that is correct. i just want a code to start from that is all. the example is not a full code. it is for nt8

Hello babouin77,

Thanks for the reply.

In that case you would need to either use a 3 line break chart and apply the strategy to that chart or you can use AddLineBreak to add a secondary series if you don't want the line break as the primary.

We don't have a full strategy already set up for adding line break as a secondary series, or any strategy sample that uses the custom AddDataSeries methods because these are more advanced topics. It would instead be expected that you first read the multi series documentation to learn how to use multi series scripts. The AddDataSeries methods all work the same so once you learn the multi series concepts that would apply to any of the methods like AddLineBreak. There are samples for each in the help guide but it would be expected that you need to make the script yourself if you wanted to use that sample. https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...lightsub=multi

For simplicity you can also just apply any strategy you create to a line break chart to make it use linebreak data and by doing that you do not need to use AddLineBreak.

oh ok. thanks. so i can build one in strategy builder and say for example when close is higher than previous close and above ema 9 enter long and apply it on line break chart... ill try that. thanks

Hello babouin77,

Correct, you just cannot add line break as a secondary series in the builder. You can still apply a builder strategy to any data series because you have to manually select that and configure it when you apply the strategy.

The data series for the strategy is either configured in the control center when you apply the strategy there or it would inherit the charts series if you apply it to the chart.
