Hello Folks!

I am struggling with learning NinjaScript and although I am making progress, I really think I could benefit by someone looking over my virtual shoulder. I have found an indicator that I would like to convert to a strategy as a lesson and I need some help duplicating it and writing the order management part ... there could be some pay involved....takers?

Why don't you just show us what you are trying to do ?
You can take a look at the generic strategy made by @MWinfrey, you could find details here, which is a great strategy skeleton.
With it, you will just need to had your entry conditions, but the most difficult part is already done by this script.
This generic strategy is in the Elite forum, so please be careful with it.

Attached is an image of the indicator in action and below is what I would like to turn into conditions for entering ..

every time I try to make the Generic Strategy work I break NJ 7 so bad that it won't import scripts any more so I have to manually delete the .CS file to fix it... I am missing some basic understanding or something...

// Trend detection and alerts
if (C >= _bb.Upper[0] && C > _cma[0] && _macd[0] > 0)
{
_state = TrendState.Up;
this.BarColor = Color.DarkGreen;
if (_state != previousState)
{
this.PlaySound("Alert1.wav");
this.DrawArrowUp("up"+CurrentBar, 0, Low[0]-TickSize, Color.Cyan);
}
}
else if (C <= _bb.Lower[0] && C < _cma[0] && _macd[0] < 0)
{
_state = TrendState.Down;
this.BarColor = Color.DarkRed;
if (_state != previousState)
{
this.PlaySound("Alert1.wav");
this.DrawArrowDown("down"+CurrentBar, 0, High[0]+TickSize, Color.Magenta);
}
}
