Autotrading with MicroTrends NinjaTrader Framework 7

I am trying to use you strategies on a Ninja Traded free version, demo version with live data feed but NO strategy will autotrade. i have done all as directed in "setting" up Ninja to autotrade and and ONLY option I have for your strategies is to enable them.

What am I doing wrong, please help ASAP as I am about ready to switch from Ninja to another platform and broker to use AbleSys if I cannot get your strategies to work.

Hi

Ok no problem usually that is either a misunderstanding about how to use the strategies and signals - or it is something like using a live account but having the safety catch on...
Once you understand how to use 1 signals indicator you will understand 95% of all the others are each one is almost identical except just a few parameters to make it unique.
The same is true with all strategies - which are built in top of a base that starts with the standalone MT Easy Trader - so look at that on its own and understand how to put on manual trades- before using a fully auto strategy.

Recap:
Strategies work off Signals Indicators - so you must learn how to make a signal using a Signals Indicator on a chart - then learn how to do the same from within a strategy using a signals indicator which is embedded inside the strategy - the strategy will simply execute the signal as an order - then manage the trade- all signal logic is in the indicator.

1. Have you watched the video series on the MT Signals Indicators foundation material to allows you to understand what a signals indicator is and how to set it so signals appear on a chart? https://microtrends.zendesk.com/entries/59737249-Getting-Started-with-MicroTrends-NinjaTrader-Framework-Signals-Indicators
2. Did you configure the "Signal Trade Setup Mode" and try this with the chosen MT Signals Indicator on the chart?
3. Did you then repeat and configure the "Signal Trade Setup Mode" in the strategy version of the Signals indicator so that it will provide signals inside the strategy?

Try your chosen MT Signals Indicator on a chart - then try inside a strategy....
