Default General Question on Multi Time Frames Strategy

This is a newbie question. I am just learning to use the strategy wizard. I want to know if it is even possible to program something like the "3 Ducks Trading Method" with FOREX and eventually automate it.

http://captaincurrency.blogspot.com/...ng-system.html

Basically it involves testing SMA conditions on 4 hour, 1hour and 5 minute charts before determining the entry. Is this even possible or can Ninja strategies only work with one time frame at a time?

If it is possible to build such a simple multi-time frame strategy, can I then easily backtest it with historical data in an automated mode? Or do I need to manually switch the time frames as the backtest proceeds?

Can something like the 3 Ducks system be fully automated in Ninja to trade live? I don't plan on doing that any time soon, just want to know if it is even possible with this software.

Thanks!

Yes it can be done through coding in NinjaScript. Unfortunately it is not doable from the Strategy Wizard though, but you can try contacting one of these NinjaScript Consultants here if you don't want to program: http://www.ninjatrader.com/webnew/pa...injaScript.htm
