In this video you will learn you how to add custom buttons to a strategy for NinjaTrader® that will allow you to short-circuit your strategy’s logic by clicking an “Enter Long” or “Exit Long” button that your strategy adds to the chart on which it is applied to enter and exit a long position manually before your strategy would normally enter or exit a long position automatically based on its logic.
This gives you complete discretion over your strategy’s otherwise fully automated entries and exits.
For instance, if you are confident that a chart is very bullish and your strategy is relatively close to entering a long position, you can choose to enter a long position earlier than the strategy would do so automatically, and if you are confident that a chart is very bearish and your strategy is relatively close to exiting its long position, you can choose to exit the long position earlier than the strategy will do so automatically.
