1. Plot a chart of daily bars, back adjusted continuous contract, from Kinetick. I can plot the current contract data, but finding the symbol for continuous contract has eluded me. I specifically would like Crude oil from say Jan 1 2008 to present, normal 24 hour electronic session.
2. Insert a strategy (that has already been written) to apply to that strategy. Edit: OK, this was easy. You have to double click the strategy so that it shows up in the lower box. I as clicking once and then hitting OK.
3. Ensure that $5 RT commissions and $30 RT slippage has been deducted from each trade. Edit: OK, I got this figured out too.
CASE CLOSED
Then, I think I know how to view the strategy report.
If anyone can point me in the right direction with a couple of steps. Eventually, I'll watch the video tutorials, but for now I just want quick and dirty.
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
Sorry. I figured these were basic enough Ninja questions that I did not have to watch video tutorials first, and 30 minutes of searching Big Mike didn't yield the results (maybe I need to watch a tutorial on searching Big Mike ).
But thanks for addressing my first question, although I still think (maybe incorrectly) that Kinetick provides a continuous contract in its database (without need to merge contracts in NT). I saw they had CL# and +CL# in their database. Maybe I'll contact them.
I think continuous contracts are something you may want to manage yourself. You never know, but I have never found a vendor that did the rollover dates the way I wanted them.
Sorry about assuming you didn't search big mike. That link came up on the first search I made on big mike. I guess I was lucky.
I'm also new to NT strategies, so I want to ask- is it possible to put 2 limit stop orders on both sides at the same time, I mean 1 buy stop and 1 sell stop (if you look for a breakout)?
I tried - but I couldn't.
Or maybe there should be a special strategy that can do it and cancel one order if the other is filled?
).
