A NinjaTrader bot is an automated strategy that monitors the market and places trades based on defined rules. It can be simple or complex, but it should always be tested carefully before live use.
Setup basics
Start with a written strategy, confirm the chart and data series, test in simulation, monitor account and strategy position, and review executions after each test.
Alerts versus automation
Some workflows only need alerts or semi-automated order tools. Others require full strategy automation. The right choice depends on how much discretion the trader wants to keep.
