1) Not enough backtesting data. You need to really backtest for > 1 year, in my opinion.
2) Yes, you need to forward test in live market.
3) Simple is usually better, but in this case, the strategy is too simple to work. Efficiency is required to be profitable, and this strategy isn't very efficient in my opinion.
Thank you for making videos like this. For those of us that is not very experienced in making ninja strategies, it is very usefull to watch and learn. One video like that, saves me for many hours of reading. I hope you can make more of them to us.

thanks for posting this video. It is really great for us who are learning programming to see videos like this as there are literally none on the internet for NinjaTrader.
Thank you for this video. I have no experience with strategies and have been hesitant to jump in. I found your walk-through on writing a strategy very encouraging. It seems to be one of those programming things that NT doesn't like to discuss in their videos.
So which is correct? (Sorry if this question was already covered or I missed something here.)
I've spent some time now and then trying to understand NinjaScript. I appreciate this video greatly. There
is just no way whatsoever I could have put together this strategy. I have altered it to remove the moving
averages, which never seem to help, and added some other very basic code.
It compiles so it must work. (hee hee)
