Trading strategies

Originally from ticket #2787.

a couple of questions where do i go to download these free to try
strategies.

what settings do i have to have set on my computer to sample these? i ask
because i noticed on my ninjatrader i had some microtrend strategies
downloaded in my folder of strategies and yet i wasn't able to test any of
them out.
they showed up on my chart as a strategy but when i clicked buy (it was on
sim mode) it rejected it and took the strategy off my chart immediately.

do you have a step by step guide for how i install all of this and test it?

what do you recommend for a small time daytrader just trying to earn a few
ticks and get around $200 a day out of the market?

thanks

Jason

Hi

It is not easy to say what happened without you seeing all the steps you took.
I would recommend you try the Multi MA Crossover as that uses a different trade engine that does not suffer from that behaviour -ie NinjaTrader will stop strategies for a host of reasons - this strtagey uses and a mode that prevents all of that.

Sorry we are not able to offer trading or investment advice, here in the UK it is very strict and would cost £100,000 to be registered to do so - or a heavy fine, closure even prison if we are do this illegally.

You would need to research this yourself or pay a vendor/educator who has a proven track record to show you how.

We can only offer support on how to use the software only -the price reflects this self assisted model.
Trader Educators will charge $3 to $5K for tuition on using systems not nearly as advanced- we can offer settings assistance to match how you want to trade.
