Step 5 of 9

Install your algorithms

Download the algorithm files, import them into NinjaTrader, add them to your NQ chart, and configure order routing to MNQ.

1

Download your algorithm files

Download all four Quaternion strategy files. Each is a NinjaScript Add-On .zip package.

⬇ Quaternion ONE ⬇ Quaternion 61.8 ⬇ Quaternion 38.2 ⬇ Quaternion 23.6

Save all four files to your Downloads folder.

2

Import into NinjaTrader

In the Control Center:

  • Click Tools in the menu bar
  • Hover over Import
  • Click NinjaScript Add-On...
Tools menu → Import → NinjaScript Add-On highlighted
Tools → Import → NinjaScript Add-On...

A file browser opens. Navigate to your Downloads folder where you'll see all four .zip files. Select one and click Open.

NinjaTrader will import and compile the strategy. A confirmation dialog appears — click OK.

Repeat for each file

Go through Tools → Import → NinjaScript Add-On for each of the four .zip files. Import all four before moving on.

3

Open the Strategies dialog

Click on your NQ chart to make it active. Then click the Strategies icon in the chart toolbar:

NQ chart with arrow pointing to Strategies icon in toolbar
Click the Strategies icon in the chart toolbar (or right-click the chart → Strategies).

The Strategies dialog opens. This is where you add algorithms to your chart and configure them.

4

Select a strategy and click Add

In the Strategies dialog:

  • In the Available list, click a Quaternion strategy
  • The Properties panel shows its settings on the right
  • Click add at the bottom left to move it to the Configured section

Select a Quaternion strategy from the Available list, then click add.

Set "Send Orders To" = MNQ

This is the most important setting. The algorithm reads NQ price data but routes orders to MNQ (Micro contracts) for proper position sizing.

  • Click the strategy in the Configured section to select it
  • In the Properties panel, find Send Orders To under Execution
  • Change it from NQ to MNQ
Strategies dialog with Send Orders To changed to MNQ, highlighted
Click the strategy in Configured, then change Send Orders To from NQ to MNQ.
⚠️ Do not skip this step

If "Send Orders To" stays on NQ, the algorithm trades full-size E-mini contracts instead of Micros — that's 10x the position size. Always verify MNQ.

Repeat for all four

Add each Quaternion strategy from the Available list, click add, then change Send Orders To = MNQ. Do this for all four before clicking OK.

6

Enable and verify

After adding all four strategies with MNQ routing, click OK. Your chart and Control Center should now show all four algorithms running:

All four Quaternion strategies installed, enabled, and running on your NQ chart. The Enabled checkboxes are checked, and each shows MNQ in its Parameters.

Verify in the Strategies tab:

  • All four Quaternion strategies are listed
  • Instrument shows NQ JUN26
  • Data series shows 15 Minute
  • Parameters column shows MNQ
  • Enabled checkboxes are checked
Algorithms installed and running!

All four Quaternion strategies are imported, configured with MNQ order routing, and enabled on your NQ chart.

Checkpoint — Verify Your Setup

Before moving on, confirm:

  • All 4 Quaternion strategies visible in the Strategies tab
  • Each strategy shows Enabled
  • Each strategy has Send Orders To set to MNQ
  • Strategies are applied to the NQ 15-minute chart
