Hi guys, sorry to bother you but I'm really struggling to create an automated strategy under the conditions and actions column, I've spent many hours watching videos but still no joy, its not a sophisticated strategy and was wondering if anyone could help me in the right direction in regards to what the inputs I should be using.

Attachment is a chart for illustration purposes.

Basically the strategy is Fibonacci levels that have not retraced to any of the previous fib levels & entry at the 500% level.

Price hits 100%, doesn't hit 0
Price hits 200%, doesn't hit 100%
Price hits 300%, doesn't hit 200%
Price hits 400%, doesn't hit 300%
Price hits 500%, Place Order

If someone can help and actually works I'm more than happily pay a little something for their time and effort via PayPal.

Thanks,
Jordon

Try using ChatGPT4. It will do some screwy stuff and there is a learning curve to get it to do what you want it to do but you can make some pretty sophisticated trading strategies with it with some time and effort. You will need to show it your print statements a lot and or your error log in the Ninja platform.

@JordonDavies, First question is what indicator are you using to draw the Fibonacci levels? I do not recall ever seeing an indicator that uses 100% levels. Without the indicator, there is no way to start.

Please post the open-source indicator or a URL where to download it.

First look at the Strategy Builder thread.


Then guess after that, I would move this request to the strategy thread where others will more readily see it:



Good trading ALL !!!

I would recommend try looking up tradesaber youtube channel. He has several videos on Ninja Strategy Builder. Using AI for Ninja indicators has been pretty pointless for me so far, but his videos are helpful. If you ask him a question, he is very responsive as well.

This is a tricky one for Strategy Builder specifically. The core issue is that what you're describing — "enter at the 500% level, but only if price never touched the 400% level first" — requires tracking a persistent state (a flag that stays set indefinitely until a specific event resets it), and Strategy Builder's condition system doesn't really have a way to do that. Its conditions evaluate per-bar without custom memory across bars.
This kind of logic is straightforward in actual NinjaScript code (just a boolean that gets set/reset at the right points), but it's not something you can cleanly replicate with Strategy Builder's built-in condition blocks alone. If you want this exact behavior, you'd likely need a small custom indicator or strategy add-on to handle the state tracking, rather than trying to force it through Strategy Builder.
