Import NinjaTrader® Indicators into Quagensia® N Edition (Quagensia® N Edition)
Original Educational Resource
In this video you will learn how to import your NinjaTrader® indicators into Quagensia® N Edition, including your third-party NinjaTrader® indicators, custom NinjaTrader® indicators, and enhanced versions of the NinjaTrader® indicators built into Quagensia N Edition, as long as they are currently supported by Quagensia N Edition. You will also learn about the over 200 drop-down lists that are imported by the indicator import process. You will learn how to create a drop-down list input parameter in your Quagensia N Edition Strategy that will appear as an optimizable drop-down list input parameter in the NinjaTrader® user interface, and how to pass the value selected in the NinjaTrader® user interface into the input parameter of an imported indicator that is plotted and whose values are used by the Quagensia N Edition Strategy’s trading logic. In this video we chose to demonstrate this process with the excellent, free THE_VWAP_INTRADAY indicator which has a DAY/WEEK/MONTH drop-down list input parameter, and which you can download for free from https://thevwap.com.

Customize Quagensia Strategies with Your Own Ideas
Tweaking Quagensia Trading Strategies using point-and-click with the Quagensia Desktop Application is easy for non-programmers. If you get stuck you can usually find the answer you need in our online help documentation or you can ask a question in our friendly Discord community.
If you don’t want to tweak a Quagensia Trading Strategy with point-and-click to add your own proprietary trading logic, you can still download a Quagensia Trading Strategy file, open it up in the Quagensia Desktop Application, and generate its code, then backtest and optimize the trading strategy on different instruments, different bar periods (weekly bars, daily bars, hourly bars, 15-minute bars, etc.), or different bar types (time-based bars, volume-based bars, tick-based bars, etc.), and use different start and end dates.
Some tweaks you can make to the Quagensia Trading Strategies you download include:
Modify the entry & exit logic.
- Add more conditions, remove conditions, or change them by choosing from among a very large number of components, including many exotic indicators.
- Add or modify stop losses, trailing stops, and profit targets. Make them tighter, less tight, or based on an entirely different calculation.
- Add or modify time stops. For example, exit after a certain number of bars either unconditionally or only if the post-entry price action did or did not exhibit certain characteristics.
Enhance the output of the strategy to go beyond simply placing orders.
- Draw lines, shapes, and text on the chart. For instance, you can mark times or prices where each entry or exit condition of a multi-condition entry or exit was true, even if all the necessary entry or exit conditions were not true at the same time so an entry or exit did not occur.
- Write information to NinjaTrader®’s NinjaScript® Output window or TradeStation®’s EasyLanguage® Print Log window.
- Write information to a file. You can even output a report that can be opened in Microsoft Excel or consumed by another application that reads comma-delimited, semicolon-delimited, or otherwise character-delimited tabular data files.
