NT8 Pivots Indicator

[TraderJesse]

Good Morning:

Please add a single character to the pivot level label to allow a quick determination of what time period that level is instead of the user having to change colors and memorize all of them.

Examples:

DPP, DR1, DS1 = Daily pivots.
WPP, WR1, WS1 Weekly pivots
MPP, MR1, MS1 = Monthly pivots.

Thanks for considering.

Hi, I am looking for pivots indicator that calculator prior bars high+clode+open/3. How can I get this?

[NinjaTrader_Kate]

Hello mkaraa,

Thank you for your note.

Are you looking for a pivot indicator that could calculate the pivots on smaller time frames than a day? Or are you just looking for a standard Pivot indicator that calculates based on the HLC of the previous day's bar? If so, the standard Pivots indicator built into NinjaTrader would do this.

If you're just looking to find this value for each bar, this can be accessed in NinjaScript using the Typical series:

Thanks in advance; I look forward to assisting you further.

Hi Kate, I am looking for the Pivots for each bar, but I do not know how to write a script. Any help on this?

Hello mkaraa,

Thank you for your reply.

I'm not sure if this is quite what you're looking for, but since it's a very simple script, I created a quick indicator that plots the typical price for each bar (High+Low+Close/3).

Here is a basic guideline of how to import NinjaScript add-ons in NinjaTrader 8:

Note — To import NinjaScripts you will need the original .zip file.

To Import:

1. Download the NinjaScripts to your desktop, keep them in the compressed .zip file.
2. From the Control Center window select the menu Tools > Import > NinjaScript Add-on...
3. Select the downloaded .zip file
4. NinjaTrader will then confirm if the import has been successful.

Critical - Specifically for some NinjaScripts, it will prompt that you are running newer versions of @SMA, @EMA, etc. and ask if you want to replace, press 'No'

Once installed, you may add the indicator to a chart by:

• Right click your chart > Indicators... > Select the Indicator from the 'Available' list on the left > Add > OK

If this isn't what you're looking for, as this is getting pretty off topic from the original thread, I'd invite you to write into our Platform Support (platformsupport [at] ninjatrader [dot] com) inbox directly so we can discuss what you're looking for at greater length. Please include a link to this post in the body and 2286529 ATTN Kate W. in the subject line.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.

Thanks Kate, you are awesome. This is exactly what I was after.
One last favour. I like to run a daily chart for US session for Equity, excluding the globex (overnight) session. If I select daily time intervention with CME US RTH (chart 2), I do not get the right chart, as I run it for 450 minutes with custom hours (9.30 – 16.15) (chart 1). I wonder how can I run a daily candle with RTH, without overnight session price action.

Hello mkaraa,

Thank you for your reply.

Daily bars in NinjaTrader 8 come packaged as is from your data provider and custom Trading Hours templates cannot be applied to them. You can work around this by setting your chart to 1440 minutes (equal to one day) and then applying the trading hours template you desire.

That's Kate, that's what I thought and ok with the 1440 minutes.
One more question, on the super dom I ça an highlight the hight and close but how xan I mark the open of the US session open. Trade station has this option on their price ladder.

[NinjaTrader_Kate]

Hello mkaraa,

Thank you for your reply.

You can apply the Current Day OHL indicator to the SuperDOM to mark the current open by right clicking on the SuperDOM > Indicators and selecting it from the list there. Again, this is out of scope of the original topic, so if you have further unrelated questions, please start a new thread for those.

Hi Kate

How can I run a weekly chat on RTH only. The weekly candle comes packaged, same as daily one.

Regards

[NinjaTrader_Kate]

Hello mkaraa,

Thank you for your reply.

Weekly RTH charts are not supported in NinjaTrader 8 if your data provider does not supply daily bars in RTH as Weekly bars are built off daily data. I have added a vote for you to an existing feature request to allow selecting whether daily bars are RTH or ETH, which may be tracked with the number SFT-1062.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.

[mkaraa]

Hello mkaraa,

Thank you for your reply.

For weekly RTH charts, you could create a 10080 minute chart and apply your desired trading hours template to that - it would be equivalent to a weekly candle.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.

I do not get the weekly chat on the 10080, as attached, I get a bar similar to 1440
