CCI Automated Strategy Question

[rptrader]

Hi all,

I need some help. I'm trying to write a strategy in
NinjaTrader to alert me every time the CCI is above
200 and below -200. Right now it alerts me the first
time that happens but that's it. I'd like it to alert
me every time it goes back above 200 or back below
-200. I've never had any experience writing a program
or strategy before so I have no clue what I'm doing.
I'd really appreciate any and all help I can get.

Thanks

Hi rptrader,

Welcome to the world of programming. Here is what I would suggest to get you on the right track.

- If all you want to do is generate an alert of some kind, I would write it as an indicator, not a strategy
- I would start by going through each one of the Indicator development tutorials, level 1 through 6 to get you familiar with developing an indicator
- Then I would tackle creating the alert indicator you want

Ray,

Is it possible to make a CCI indicator that alerts you when it goes crosses above the 200 line and then re-arms when it goes back below the 200 line so another alert pops up the next time it happens?

Thanks

Yes, this is possible. You will have to use our Alert() method and ResetAlert() method.

See the Help Guide for its usage.
