Hello traders,

i am a new user of ninjaTrader and i am writing my own little indicator.
Now i want to automate it an try to make calls to EnterShort() or EnterLong() ...

but sadly i get the compile error : CS0103


the call from an strategy is possible

thanks and greetings

Only strategies can place orders. Indicators cannot place orders. You need to write a strategy.

thank u for the answer.
have nice Christmastime !

i have tryed to port the indicator to an strategy, but without the full succes

i have written now a Strategy, like you recommended to me

now i need one value (of the member UpTrend ) of the indicator TSSuperTrend in my stategy.
but i do not know how to reference that one. the try to reference it like i successfull do with the SMA does not work

i hope somebody understand my problem despite my bad english

After downloading and installing this version of TSSuperTrend, this code compiles fine

 

Code

Print(TSSuperTrendV2_4(14, TSSuperTrend.Utility.MovingAverageType.SMA, 2.618, 14, TSSuperTrend.Utility.SuperTrendMode.ATR).UpTrend[0]);

I'm not sure which one you are using

This is probably not what you want to hear, but I would concern myself more with market structure than indicators.

i have written a strategy now and works fine for me.

Thanks for reply to my thread !
