Importing a trading bot (auto strategy) is no different from importing an indicator, after the NinjaTrader 8 trading terminal is launched, let’s start importing the bot and launching it. In the main control center window, we look for the tools button, then in the drop-down list we look for the import button, go to it and click on the NinjaScript Addon button in another drop-down list. In the opened explorer, we find our zip archive with the bot and click open. After the pop-up information window from NinjaTrader, your bot has already been added to the platform. Now we need to specify the parameters for it and send it to work. In the main control center window, find the strategy tab below, go to it, then right-click on the strategy window and select “New strategy” in the list. You will open a list that looks like a list of indicators when adding a strategy, with the difference that here in the list you need to click on the strategy once, then specify the necessary parameters and click ok. We immediately see how the line with the selected strategy appeared and for the bot to start its work, we need to check the enable column, I also remind you that if you have not connected to the data provider, then you will not be able to run the trading algorithm when the platform is connected to the data provider, this is possible understand by the whole circle in the lower-left corner in the control center window, if the connection is interrupted, then it is red, if it is not connected, then gray. So, we have learned how to import an auto-strategy into the platform and send it to work. I recommend that you read the article on how to do the same for an indicator only, and also take a look at our bots in the shop, if you have any questions, write comments, and we will be happy to answer.
