trendline break trigger order

[Creamers]

Hi,

Is it (technically) possible to manually draw a trendline on the chart with on order executed as soon as price breaks the trendline ?

Maybe any programming tips or suggestions?

Greetings from the netherlands,

Sorry you cannot currently manually draw the line and trade that level. What you could do is use a NinjaScript strategy to draw the line for you and on that level the NinjaScript can also be told to enter trades.

Hi...

Looking into future versions of NT a bit...I understand it is a consideration that alerts may be triggered upon a (manually drawn) trendline break...upon such an alert would one then be able to program an auto trade entry or exit ??...this could be a nice option to have....

Thanks...

Thanks for the suggestion. We will add it to our list of considerations.

I think a lot of people will appreciate this possibility to be high on the todo list.
You should create something as used in Metatrader:
double ObjectGetValueByShift( string name, int shift)
The function calculates and returns the price value for the specified bar (shift related to the current bar). The price value is calculated by the first and second coordinates using a linear equation. Applied to trendlines and similar objects.
It then must be possible to call a trendline by it's name to easily detect a break of the trendline (ols Open Long Stop):
if(TrendLine=="ols" && Close[1]> ObjectGetValueByShift(TrendLine, 1)) OpenBuy=true;
It will be there soon?

Hello,

Thanks for the feedback I will make sure it is on development list to review.

As such this must be done manually for the time being.

Any update on this topic? How to use trendlines for automated orders?

Hello eddi0505,

Thank you for your post.

There is no direct function or method for this item. You could look into the same logic used int he Alert For Manually Drawn Lines, but this is an indicator and it may not be easy to directly transfer over the same idea into a strategy: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...d=4&linkid=472

Hello there is there an update for this indicator in NT8?

I searched but was unable to find.

Also it would be great to be able to attach to orders.

Thanks

Hello ij001,

Thank you for your post.

This is now possible in NinjaTrader 8 without the need of NinjaScript. In NinjaTrader 8's chart you can draw an object on the chart and then right click in the chart > select Alerts and then develop a condition for the Data Series (price) to cross the drawing object and set up and action to submit an order.

You can find our more about Alerts in NinjaTrader 8 at the following link: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...-us/alerts.htm

Please let me know if you have any questions.
