Looking for a MACRO program for XP? Want scheduled control of ninja

[scriabinop23]

I am looking for a Macro program that will have no problem doing this:

1) tell Ninja to logout of the broker that Ninjatrader is logged into.
2) re login daily, then add the 'strategy' and start it.


This is driving me nuts because the fact that I can't find keyboard equivilents for the stategy bar, then a way to create the new strategy without right clicking, then clicking add new strategy etc.

All of this seems to depend on window position and results in Ninja not being macro friendly. I don't want ninja to not work with a mouse based macro app because the ninja window merely is in a different position or not maximized as when the macro is programmed.

Anyone have a workaround and a suggestion for a macro program that will let me control ninja reliably on a schedule?

Or to Ninja developers: PLEASE let me do all of this from keyboard equivilents or even start a strategy and login to a broker from a commandline, ie:

c:\...\ninjatrader.exe -login brokerA -strategy strategydefs.file

thanks.

How can we schedule a autohotkey script to be run daily?
The build in Windows scheduler doesn't seem to run when my machine is log off.
Can anyone recommend a better solution?

Thanks!

Now I'm able to have the scheduler to log in to Windows before running autohotkey.
But autohotkey seem to be able to start NJ but NOT send keystrokes or mouseclicks.

Any solution?
