So far, the ATM I have looked at in Ninja, does not allow exit via price crossing moving average. I would consider an automated entry if I could figure out if MA is moving higher or lower. Is this possible without learning C#?
Aha! The next simplest solution is the Strategy Wizard, that will build a simple strategy for you if you fill in a number of fields.
The manual part becomes starting the strategy...several approaches to that.
ETA: All may involve learning something about how to program NT unfortunately, but check out the "Do you want your [heart's desire] created for free" thread (elite access:

Here is a shell I created for manual entries inside of a strategy. I modified the toolbar button code found at Toolbar Buttons - NinjaTrader Support Forum (.
I am planning on creating automated exits using manual entries, and thought some of you might …
Manual entry buttons are there, a manual exit button is there, so you just have to code exit signals for the corresponding entry signal. I HAVE NOT TESTED IT LIVE, so I suggest you run it on sim before firing it live.
You can also do something similar with the ChartTrader panel enabled, and use the usual button, but add a "smarter" ATM logic.
