Hi all,

My name is Bruce and I have a question for you.

I wrote a code with SMA crossover to entry and exit.

I would like to modify this code to only entry with the SMA crossover and take the exit manually.

How could I cancel the exit from my strategy and only use the crossover entry?

Any suggestions?

Is there any tutorial the I could watch to learn?

Thank you very much in advance.
Bruace

Hello brucegale69,

Thanks for the note.

If you want to prevent logic from running after you have entered long, then you would need to set up a boolean variable at the class level. Set it to false initially, then set it to true after you take a trade. There are many ways of doing this, so I advise you work with the technique that works best for you.

A brief example:

public class MyStrategy : Strategy
{
    private bool flip = false;

    ...

    protected override void OnBarUpdate()
    {
        if(flip)
            return;
        if(EntryCondition)
        {
             EnterLong();
             flip = true;
        }
    }
}

Please let us know if we may be of any further assistance.

Thank you very much for your reply.

I would like to ask you if you know any programmer. I know exactly what I want but I am lack of experience in programming c#.

Your suggestion will be highly appreciated.

Thank you very much in advance.

Hi,
Thank you very much for you answer.
I wrote a code with two SMA and the Stop Loss and Tralling Stop.
Unfortunately, after doing my assessment I realized the tralling Stop is not working as Tralling Stop. It works as Take Profit.

In order to write I followsd one of your tutorial step by step. Is there any other tutorial I can watch?

Additonally, I would like to ask you if there is any indicator (tralling stop) which follows my SMA? I remember there was a code/function to program this function.

Much appreciate four your help.

hank you very much n advance

Hello brucegale69,

Thanks for the follow up.

There are no video tutorials on coding NinjaScript, but I would advise looking through all of the sample strategies that are available on the platform by default.

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 can be found below:

I am also linking you to the Educational Resources section of the Help Guide to help you get started with NinjaScript:

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/en-us/?educational_resources.htm

You will find Reference Samples online as well as some Tips and Tricks for both indicators and strategies:

To set a trailing stop, you would use SetTrailStop:

Hello,

Do you know where can we find a sample strategy providing logic or code for a trailing stop to follow an indicator?

[NinjaTrader_ChrisL]

Hello rperez,

Thank you for the post.

You will supply a price value or tick value to the SetTrailStop method. Knowing this, you may supply the value of an indicator. For example, you can attach the price of an SMA like so:

SetTrailStop(SMA(14)[0]);

You would want to first check if the SMA is below the Close price at that time as well.

Please let me know if I can assist further.
