Re UniRenko Open Offset options

[augus]

I am not a programmer but I am trying to and it might take me forever to do this (not sure) little simple thing.

Would it be be possible to have an option to set the Open Offset of UniRenko in the Data Series to zero (0) instead of just having a default of one (1)?

Appreciate very much.

Regards,

augus

Hello augus,

Thank you for your post and welcome to the NinjaTrader Support Forum!


You can ask the developer of UniRenko for the alteration if you would like. Otherwise you would need to look into the code yourself to make this change.

if you can provide the file here I can take a look as it should be as simple as setting the value as Math.Max(0, value).

I thought this is a Ninja Data Series as I saw it in the Ninja Data Series and invoked it? I really do not know how to or where to find the program. I think I have to start learning how to program or how to tweak a program as a newbie, from scratch. I just hope somebody could help me in the programming start up!

Hello augus,

Thank you for your response.

You can search the file sharing section of the Forum for the UniRenko and find it's developer from that search: http://ninjatrader.com/support/forum...splay.php?f=37

If you downloaded elsewhere you will need to identify where.

Unirenko code

i have the unirenko bar type. where do i find/extract the code? I think i also want to the same thing as augus. I want the unirenko bar to complete and a new bar to print when the price range meets (is equal to) the trend ticks number i set (4 ticks). Instead, what it's doing now is it only completes a bar and prints a new bar when price exceeds the trend ticks number i set.

Hello mrsonnim,

Thank you for your post and welcome to the NinjaTrader Support Forum!

I am not certain if the UniRenko is protected or not. If it is not protected then the code is located under Documents\NinjaTrader 7\bin\Custom\Type.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hello mrsonnim,

Thank you for your response.

Are you looking for assistance in altering the code or someone to alter it for you?

I look forward to your response.

[mrsonnim]

Either way is fine by me if it's simple enough. Just some direction will do.

Hello mrsonnim,

Thank you for your response.

Please keep in mind that BarType development in NinjaTrader 7 is unsupported.

Look in the code and you will see the maxExceeded and minExceeded. You need to change these to check if they equal 0 rather than > or < 0. For example:

maxExceeded = bars.Instrument.MasterInstrument.Compare(close, barMax) == 0 ? true : false;
minExceeded = bars.Instrument.MasterInstrument.Compare(close, barMin) == 0 ? true : false;

This is just what I see from the code. Please test this on your end.
