Thank you for making it simple. Hopefully before the end of next month I'll craft a strategy.

[kshatfields]

That was very helpful! I look forward to your next video. Thanks!

[AdrianLimKK]

Thank for your next video on creating automated strategies.

[eminifuturesguy]

really good stuff. simple, concise and instructional. Thank You!

[pappu]

Awesome, thank you so much for showing this demo.

I use NT8. This video is very helpful. I thought you have to have some sort of programming skills to run automated strategies. Thank you for your time.

Thanks man really good for those starting out with strat builder. Is there a way to block any new positions from opening while I have a trade already open? thanks again

[JavierTorres-stgt]

The algo is automatic or discrecional?

[RmReel]

thanks for the video. Is it possible to run a strategy in simulation during live markets? How would one do that?

[howarddewitt]

Great video!! I'm not sure why NT doesn't include this in their Strat builder. How can you add a daily profit /loss cut off... If i have a profit or loss of a specified amount and i want the strategy to close my positions and disable the strategy for the rest of the day I've looked and looked with no simple explanations on how to do it.. I know it can be done because I've used paid algos that have this option. any info or direction would be greatly appreciated!!

[laurentalain]

Thanks you very much. You are a good teacher 😊 but I would like to build a strategy but with parabolic SAR I can't. It's a suggestion😊

[التداولبالعربي]

I want to create my own indicator.. I need your help pleas 🙏

[fajcsirj]

Can one pick the time of day to trade---start from 0800 stop at 1200. Tks Bob

[MT-tezc]

hi, would you do a video on trading on PIN bar when price is closed below or above EMA provided by a user input variable ? Thanks,

[lovenpeace]

Can you please do a video on how to create a strategy similar to yours but all you have to di it Enter on the close of next bar with the following conditions

On chart page an option for clicking Long or short only so you can click whichever side u r trading
similar to what you did here Stop loss and profit target
Enter on close of current bar with a bracket

Thanks a lot in advance. If you have venmo or something i could donate too. Out of millions of videos yours was concise and very helpful

[shamrozkadiwal]

I appreciate for your video! Also I have a question about how can I set a target as (buy when 21ema cross 50ema) instead of set tick as a target 🤔

[GodrasWorld]

It is working with stratategy anylizer but not entering automatically on live market its just showing me the markers

[joshuaburnett]

Did you make the video on how to attach this to a love chart to make it trade for you? And do you know if there is a way under conditions to make it enter a position when a Heiken ashi green candle crosses a lower Bollinger band?

[SilentPresence]

I am trying to write a "Condition" in Strategy Builder if Price is
sloping up in respects to the HMA then do "Action". So not "above" HMA;
but when HMA is sloping up. Can not seem to figure it out if; I tried
some parameters in the misc folder such as "slope" and "rising" but to
no avail. Let me know if this is possible? I appreciate your help.
Thanks.

I tried this and entered everything exatly as discribed and after pressing "Run" it returns no results. Any ideas?
