Adding Multiple Instruments to an Indicator

[yamdigger]

Hi

I am attempting to create an indicator that gives me the total volume of all members of the Dow 30 on a single chart of the DJIA index.

I'm attempting to use Add("<Instrument>", PeriodType.Minute, 1); were <instrument> would be an individual stock. But when I try to Compile it, it gives a message, "No overload for method 'Add' takes '3' arguments": And the error code is; CS1501.

Even if I cut-and-paste the example straight from the NT user manual, I still get this message. Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong here?

The following is a sample from the manual:

Examples
protected override void Initialize()
{
// Add a 5 minute Bars object - BarsInProgress index = 1
Add(PeriodType.Minute, 5);
// Add a 100 tick Bars object for the ES 12-06 contract - BarsInProgress index = 2
Add("ES 12-06", PeriodType.Tick, 100);

// Charts a 20 period simple moving average to the chart
Add(SMA(20));
}

But If I try to use any of the examples, it won't compile

Multi-instrument indicators are currently not available. They will be in NT7 though.

The line of code you are attempting only works in NinjaScript Strategies. Some people have had success using a Strategy to mimic an indicator. Here is an example of how to do this: http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/v...ead.php?t=6651

It is not perfect but it is a workaround. The solution is provided as-is though and we cannot offer support for it.

Is there an estimated release (beta) date for NT7?
