Hey guys! My name is Mike.
Does anyone have a risk management add-on for NT8 which could allow you to set your daily loss limit and lock you out of market till the next session, in case if you've broken the rule?

I've fount one on https://ninjatraderecosystem.com but the web page where this add located isn't working for some reason

thank You

It's very very simple to code, I'll post an indicator which can do that.

See attached file.
A ChartTrader has to be in the chart for the indicator to work.

Unfortunately I'm not related to coding, so it's very hard for me to create something like that...

Do I have to use any specific ChartTrader, or it doesn't matter?

I think he just means that NT "Chart Trader" must be on your chart (not switched off).

Correct, the ChartTrader should be on so the indicator can see on which account set this daily loss. There are other ways to do this but it was the quickest for me.

Well I'm just asking as I was planning to take a look upon adding some customed Char trader to my NT.

As I've mentioned earlier, I'm not really good with programming. Actually not good at all. Soo... how can I add the attached file into my NT8?
I've tried to archive it into ZIP file, and than add through tool bar in platform, but in this case platform gives me message that file is for older version and it is incompatible.

Place the file in "..\Documents\NinjaTrader 8\bin\Custom\Indicators". Then you should be able to add it to your chart via Indicators.

You could also open the .cs file they posted using notepad. Then copy all of the code inside, should be in plain text. In NT, from the control panel, go to ninjascript editor. Right click on indicators on the right and new indicator. Then paste the copied code, and press on compile. That's it, now go to indicators from the chart and the new one should be in the list.
