Is there instructions I can refer to?

Hello,

Thank you for your note.

I have provided a link below that goes over working with multiple data series within NinjaTrader 7.

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

Dont know if this is best place to ask this, but I am having trouble running multitime frames. My code does not use any indicators and what I tried does not work. I merely want to place an order once a certain price has been exceeded and then reverses on any bar from, let's say, 20-29 min. Any help would be appreciated.

This is possible but would require custom programming. If you yourself are not a programmer, any of the NinjaScript consultants listed at the following link could code this project for you:

Hi Christopher_J,

I managed to get a multi timeframe chart to plot. I'm now having issues adding custom indicators to all the timeframes. They only plot on the primary timeframe. Could you please assist?

Within the Indicator parameters window left mouse click on the ... button in the Input series window then select the instrument you would like the indicator calculated off of. Also within your Indicator parameters window select the Panel you would like the indicator plotted.

I have provided a link below to our NinjaTrader 7 Help Guide that goes over Working with Indicators.

Hi Christopher_J,

Please see attached screenshot.

To get the indicators on to the secondary timeframes, I left-clicked on the input series after selecting the indicator. What I am unclear about is why do I have to choose between Open, High, Low, Close, Median, Typical and Weighted before the indicator will plot? What happens if my indicator does not use those inputs?

Regards

Hello,

If your indicator does not use these inputs then no worries. It wont use the input you feed into it. Simply just pick one to initialize it with some data that you may or may not use in your indicator.

Got a multiseries Renko bar strategy working now but need to "normalize" it before it starts. I want my bars to start building (before it starts at 8:30) at a specific price-let's say 50 plus or minus some increment of my choosing . And now to add another layer of complexity, it would need to reset every morning before trading even if was still active holding a position overnight. Can "startY" or is it "StartY"? be used and if so, where can I get more info on its use?? Thanks

Hello,

You would have to a session template that covers the entire section that you want. You would not be able to exclude some data from the bar formations unfortunately.

I'm quite familiar with session templates but when using renko bars, time is of little importance-price becomes king. So why can't I start building a bar at a particular price instead of a particular time?? I'm pretty sure I can but need some tips/clues as to how to start.

shortstar, that would unfortunately not be supported by us, but you can look into custom coding a bars type here for this task. They would be stored in the bin > custom > type folder.
