    i need help with ninja traders auto trading program creator.
    would like to create a automated trading program to use the stochastics fast for es futures.

    simple 20 line cross over is a buy and 80 cross down is a sell. with 2 point stop loss and 4 point price objective. it would also have to reverse to short on a 80 line cross down if 4 point isnt met.

    to be used with a 300 tick chart. also how do u designate the fast and slow line speed.?

    can a program u create be used with the simulator and real moey trading. i looked at ninja traders self program for auto trading and i dont get it. how long did it take u to figure it out?.

    i used the ma crossover on the simulator for days straight with all the setting i could think of and time frames and it averaged a loss of 1k an hour. plus it would end up with more than one contract when u wanted just one and wouldnt reverse

  5. Two suggestions:

    1. Use the Wizard - it's easy
    2. Backtest your system on at least 10 years of historical data
