NT8 open an order not on a bar

November 24th, 2023, 12:22 PM

Hi,

Anyone know of an exisiting way (indicator, custom code,??) or if it possible to open an order in NT8 somewhere other than placing it on a bar? I am looking to open the order by placing it on a moving average. I prefer Blackbird/Bloodhound for orders but the ATM could also work.

Thanks

You can attach to an indicator as a basic operation in NinjaTrader, just right click, attach to indicator... SharkSuite should be able to do the same

Sorry I do not understand. Not seeing where to right click to attach

Right click on the open order on the chart, hover over the one you want to attach, and the option should pop up

Thanks, but that only opens the order if a bar touches or crosses over the moving average. I am looking for a way to immediately open an order when I place the Buy or Sell MKt on the moving average totally independent of where the bar is positioned.

Attach order to 170 EMA example.

What you're proposing can be done with an addon but not a strategy, and it's complex. I was trying to build something similar at one point (using a MA direction change to exit) , but the juice wasn't worth the squeeze for me.

Perhaps it just needs a 'thinking outside of the box"

I think using a strategy is not the best option.
Try an indicator. (yes it is complex)
I suggest use TickHunter and check out some of the methods there to follow, move, enter.

Here is what i understand given your request:

Place a buy/short market order if price is above/below an EMA accordingly but only after i click somewhere around the EMA. Is it what you want ?

Sort of. I want the opening price to be the same as the place I click on the moving average even if the bar is multiple ticks above / below the MA and will never touch the MA. I am trying to ignore the bar and only use the MA. Thanks
