Changing Calculation Method

[KennyK]

I coded an indicator starting with the wizard. After running it I saw that I wanted to change it from calculating on close to calculate on price change.

So I simply changed it in the code as below, but it has not changed what is happening on the chart. Can you tell me why? and how do I fix it please?

if (State == State.SetDefaults)
{
Calculate = Calculate.OnPriceChange;

Cheers,
Ken.

Hello KennyK,

By happening on the chart, what are you referring to and what are you looking to see vs expected?

I look forward to your reply.

Hi Alan,
What I expect to see happening on the chart after changing the Calculation type from "OnBarClose" to "OnPriceChange", is the current bar should be the colour prescribed by my code same as the other bars, not the standard NT8 colour, only changing after the close of the bar.
Cheers,
Ken.

Hello KennyK,

Would you please upload a copy of the code along with a screen shot, so I can test on my end?

To export a NinjaScript from NinjaTrader 8 do the following:
From the Control Center window select Tools -> Export -> NinjaScript...
Click Add>Select the indicator>OK>Export.
Then attach that file you saved; under My Docs>NT8>Bin>Custom>Select the downloaded .zip file.

I look forward to your reply.

Got it sorted

Hi Alan,
I have it all sorted now. Silly me forgot that I set a default preset up for the indicator earlier while it was set to on bar close. So every time I put the indicator on a chart it would be set to that preset, despite the coding change. So I restored the default and all is good.
Cheers,
Ken.
