Auto trade sim101 from Strategies in NT7

[kumaresh11]

I am new Beta user in NT7.
I have been doing lot of sim trade using Strategies's autotrade in NT 6.5.
can I do the same in NT7 to try the results. Do I need to keep in mind of any new changes in NT7?

I use demo zen fire acct for data feed and hope it works in NT7

You can do the same. If you are using NinjaScript Strategies you may need to do some conversions to make it NT7 compatible though. Please see here: http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/vb/showthread.php?t=21016

1) how can I keep Strategies as "enabled" so it runs even after restarting.

2) if NT crashes, any way for it to restart/recover by itself, if it happens overnight as I run strategies during overnight

kumaresh11,

You will have to manually start them up. I can understand where you are coming from, but this is a safe guard feature that is required.

I see what you are saying and it is good to be protected.
But I have a strategy that does swing and position trades, so it holds trades overnight and for few days/week. problem here is that if zen fire disconnects or NT forcibly shutdown, is there way for it restart by itself.
I lost zen connection last night, so strats were stopped!!

kumaresh11,

There is already logic in place to automatically attempt to reconnect. If it is unable to reconnect, then you will be disconnected. If you were able to reconnect quickly your strategies may even be reenabled automatically. Please see the Tools>Options>Strategies>NinjaScript tab for the "On connection loss" settings.
