Getting started
Please read carefully
This page will get you completely setup with EdgeBot, so please read through this carefully. By seeing this page, you should have already signed up with the trial month via Paypal. If you have any questions during this setup, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me via the contact form here.
Getting Started videos
I’ve created a non-public playlist with videos explaining the modes in greater detail. Please watch them to get a better understanding of the functionality.
Latest version of Ninja Trader 8
You MUST be on the latest version of Ninja Trader 8! This will not work on older versions. I’m constantly updating the bot, and will only be doing so on this version of Ninja Trader 8 (unless otherwise specified). You can verify your installed version by hitting Ninja Trader 8 top menu: Help > About
DO NOT IMPORT AND ENABLE IF YOUR VERSION DOESN’T MATCH BELOW!
Latest Version: 8.1.2.1 (October 25, 2023)
import
Import the downloaded bot (download link above by hitting the huge download button above).
Ninja Trader 8 Main Menu > Tools > Import > NinjaScript Add-On..
Navigate to where you saved the zip file (Downloads folder typically). Select the file and import.
adding to a 5-min nq chart
Add a new chart by hitting New > Chart
Data Series, you’ll want to select the current NQ under Futures (currently it’s on 3-24 while creating this)
Type: Minute
Value: 5
adding edgebot strategy
On the newly created 5 Minute NQ Chart, you can add a new strategy (EdgeBot) by selecting the icon below underlined in Red. Or you can right click in the chart, and select Strategies
Expand the EdgeBot folder, and you’ll see EdgeBot (the strategy). Double click Edgebot (the strategy) to add to the chart, or select add at the bottom left corner of this window:
Timezones
This bot has many time based analysis built in. If your computer isn’t located in Easter Standard Time (EST -5:00), you’ll need to update Ninja Trader’s Timezone. This cannot be done on the chart level, but rather in Ninja Trader Options (Tools>Options)
All set!!!
I’d like to personally THANK YOU for giving EdgeBot a shot. Years of development, have gone into the making of this bot. If you have any questions during any of this setup, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
I highly suggest trading the first day on SIM, mostly to get the feel for it. Or spend some time in the Playback mode testing it!
Suggestions or feedback are always welcome.
Thank you once again!
