Hi Everyone,

I am interested in getting assistance with programming an automated strategy for ninjatrader to use renko bars with micro futures. Automated strategy would open trade on close above 8ema with trailing stop. Would also like option for this automated strategy to work going long only, short only or both ways. Some other conditions could be added to the strategy as well.

I am new to automated trading and have no idea how much time goes into something like this.

How much approximately should I expect to pay for something like this?

Are their consultants available who can coach me on how to learn to do back testing, and how much per hour should I expect to pay for a consultant to help with this?

I am turning 69 years of age and not very computer literate and would rather get help with all of this rather than figuring it all out on my own.

Thanks for any input or suggestions on who to contact to help with this.

Kind regards,

Ed

Hi Ed,

I used to use a strategy similar to this, trade on cross of 10 ema but I learned that this is always the 1st or 2nd bar anyways so maybe you could try this strategy. You can set the number of bars before entry and either use a trailing stop or fixed number of bars for exit...

This only works on traditional renko bars, not unirenko but the code can be modified to use with unirenko..

Hope this is a start for you..

Greg
