Hi crimsonite,

We unfortunately cannot provide trading advice, but will leave this thread open for the community to respond to those questions.

Does Ninja automatically curve fit each renko backtest by using the ideal starting tick point? How does this "starting tick point" work in live trades... it seems to just pick a random tick off the bat.

Both backtest/live starts renko charts using the the start date you define in your strategy or chart. They are also reset each session, defined by your session template.

With renko bars in a backtest, you should consider adding a secondary, smaller series to provide increased granularity:

Hy!

About http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ead.php?t=6652 :

is it possible to use EnterLongLimit instead EnterLong?

I've tried with

EnterLongLimit (1, false, 1, Close[0], "");

but no orders are generated. Ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Hello mirkocero,
Thanks for your post.

You have set the liveUntilCancelled property to false. As such the order will be cancelled if it is not filled on the bar itself. If you change the liveUntilCancelled property to true then are you able to make it work?

If you modify the code as below then are you able to get it work.

EnterLongLimit (1, true, 1, Close[0], "");
