I don't know where to start

[Blaster666]

I have a trading idea.

It's about to buy or sell a contract when occurring a crossing between 2 exponential moving averages (emas)

For instance, 4 and 9 emas

If occurss a crossing between them ... I want to program that event ... so that I can automatize the ninjatrader software

Where can I start?

Strategy Wizard?
Do I use ninjascript language?

Is there any example to see on this website?
I know it's very common to buy or sell a contract when occurring a crossing between emas

thx

Excuse me

I have installed Ninjatrader 8 on my netbook

So I think it's right to refer to strategy builder rather than strategy wizard

You can look at the you tube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BA0W4ECyVdc. it's called Ninjascript 401 and teaches use of strategy builder and a basic simple moving average crossover that you can easily change to EMA.

Most people would advise against using EMA crossovers as they don't work live and are over simplistic but good to start education.

Hello Blaster666,

Thank you for your note.

You could see the Strategy preloaded with NinjaTrader called SampleMACross for an example of a moving average cross. To open this you could go to Control Center>New>NinjaScript Editor, then navigate to Strategies>SampleMACross. You could modify the script from using SMA’s to using EMA’s.

The following video demonstrates how to build exactly what you’re looking to do, except you’d selected EMA’s rather than SMA’s.
