I tried it and doesn't seem to work on 8.0.2.

Nevermind. I misspoke. IT works. Thanks.

it looks like it is a bit slow sometimes and won't appear or show right away on tick charts...I wanted to combine 1000 tick to 1 min and 250 tick chart with it

Does this not work on lower time frames? Does anyone know of one that does correctly? I want to show Daily's on intraday Minute charts. I'm guessing they are not using AddDataSeries or loading enough bars. Thank you

Chelsea,

This is great!

https://ninjatrader.com/support/forum/forum/ninjascript-educational-resources/reference-samples/106801-indicator-using-a-secondary-series-as-an-input-series-for-an-indicator?t=109177

Was able to apply it to some indicators perfectly for showing a higher time frame indicator. (Daily on hourly).
Is there a way to show shorter on longer (daily on a weekly? I only want to handle this programatically (not "add a second data series and hide it or make it invisible")

And I feel silly asking this: I share a lot of my charts with a large group so visuals matter to me. I understand the choppy MA lines is just a matter of price intervals being so different, but is there any way to get a smoother line?

Thanks for all your help.

Hello UncleRyan,

The line is choppy because the values only update when the higher time frame closes.

If you want a smoother line you will need to make up values for the bars in between.

Hi, I would like to know if it is possible to color a multitimeframe indicator such as momentum. I've coded one, but I can't color it on green when it's above 0 and red below 0. I tried : if Value[0] > 0, etc. But it doesn't work, also secondary and primary[0] and it doesn't work either.

Here is what I tried but it adds a line and I want bar.

if(MomentumColoredSecondary[0] > 0)
{
PlotBrushes[0][0] = Brushes.Lime;
}
else if(MomentumColoredSecondary[0] < 0)
{
PlotBrushes[0][0] = Brushes.Red;
}

Can anybody help ?

[NinjaTrader_ChelseaB]

Hello Manu2356,

Is MomentumColoredSecondary a plot? Specifically is this the first plot added with AddPlot()?

Are you setting PlotBrushes on every primary bar close?

[Manu2356]

Hi ChelseaB,

MomentumColoredSecondary is a value, like it would be Value[0] (I tried with Value[] but doesn't work). I added the following plots :

AddPlot(Brushes.Transparent, NinjaTrader.Custom.Resource.NinjaScriptIndicatorDe scriptionMomentum);
AddPlot(Brushes.Green, "MomentumColored Secondary Series");

// AddPlot(Brushes.DarkCyan, "MomentumColored Secondary Series");
AddLine(Brushes.SlateBlue, 0, NinjaTrader.Custom.Resource.NinjaScriptIndicatorZe roLine);


I have downloaded a code for momentum colored and in this code, to make it green when above 0 and red when under 0 the code calls Value [0] so I tried on the mtf version I did, but it doesn't work.

[NinjaTrader_ChelseaB]

Hello Manu2356,

NinjaTrader does not have a custom resource named NinjaScriptIndicatorDescriptionMomentum.

Unless this is a resource you have made in your own resource dictionary, I would suggest you supply a string.

AddPlot(Brushes.Transparent, "DescriptionMomentum");


Is Values[0] being returned by the getter for MomentumColoredSecondary?

What value is printed for this in the output window?

Print(string.Format("{0} | MomentumColoredSecondary[0]: {1}", Time[0], MomentumColoredSecondary[0]));

[Manu2356]

Hi Chelsea B,

Yes, values are returned, I join a snapshot of values returned, I printed two and the plot result.

It adds a line but I'd like to have bars painted in green and/or red...

[NinjaTrader_ChelseaB]

Hello Manu2356,

When you say "I'd like to have bars painted in green and/or red" are you talking about the chart bars or the indicator plot?

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/barbrush.htm

What does Values[0][0] print?
Value[0] is not matching MomentumColoredSecondary[0], are you certain MomentumColoredSecondary is Values[0]?

[Manu2356]

I would like the indicator bars paint in green when above 0 and red below zero.

I think that's the point, but I don't know how to assign secondary to value[0].

Is it like this : Value[0]=MomentumColoredSecondary[0] ? If yes, where to place it into the onbarupdate ?
