2 dataseries in chart

[NinjaTrader_Heath]

Hello Tonynt,

Thank you for your reply.

To clarify, Range bars are not a time based bar, they are tick based, and thus are not anchored to a specific time slot in your charts. Minute bars are time based and as mentioned the spaces your seeing are the time increments where your 5 minute bars would go if they were visible.

There is not a way to change this behavior. I can reproduce this exact behavior when using time based bars.


Please feel free to write in if you need additional assistance.

Hello,

what do you mean by "Although I would like to point at a significant difference between the chart that you posted and the chat that I created.
I am able to see that your chat should be able to shorten the gap between bars."

I´m working 10 years with NT6, NT7 and NT8 but I dont understand what you mean.

Thank you!
Tony

Hello tonynt,

Thank you for your note.

Based on the original image that you provided, I was able to see a significant difference between the chart that you posted and the chart I created.

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

Hello,

you repeated the same information after I wrote that I dont understand what you mean. Yes, you have HILO bars and I have candlesticks to see open and close and also the whole 30 min "TPObar" as there is no marketprofile in NT. What do you mean by "significant difference" I ask again. And how does this refer to my question about adjusting bars horizontally?

Unless I'm mistaken, the x axis is is minutes so with 30 minutes and 5 minutes on the same axis, wouldn't there be a minimum where you can reduce the distance between bars anymore?
For example, if you changed to timeframes closer together, I'd expect you could reduce the distance a little more.

Hello,

I wrote in post #11 to the screenshot that in NT8 its the same behavior.

In the meantime I tested the following: having a 4 Range chart and adding again a 5 min chart (invisible) and its possible to reduce distance between bars totally. So why does it work here and not with 30min primary and 5min added dataseries?

Thank you!
Tony

Hello,

Thank you for your reply.

Based on your original email and your chart settings of using the 30 min and 5 min data series settings there is no way to get your bars any closer. Unfortunately, this is a limitation of the NinjaTrader 7 Platform.

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

Hello,

this information was clear. But then I got the reply ""Although I would like to point at a significant difference between the chart that you posted and the chat that I created.
I am able to see that your chat should be able to shorten the gap between bars."

What does this mean? So what can be changed? I have no idea what you mean by this.

Thank you!
Tony

Hello tonynt,

Thank you for your reply.

I would like to clarify my reply.

Your original chart showed that you had gaps that could be filled by changing the width of your bars. The Chart that I created displayed the difference between your chart with the gaps compared to my chart without the gaps.

Changing the bar width is the only change that is available.

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

Hello,

this is getting a story. In the attached screenshot I have adjusted the bars as narrow as possible! Why do you think there are gaps between the bars? This is from the 5 min dataseries - as you told me. In your screenshot you have a HL-bar. And you have set the bar width to a higher value. And then you reply to me that it looks different from mine? LOL

Attached is a 30min/5min chart same as you have, with less gaps in between. And? What is the purpose of this? Any advantage with more bars on the left?

And I have a special screenshot "For Jermaine". Have a look there is no gap in between. And? Giving the bars more width is a reply or solution? If its not possible, OK, but what do we waste time here and you tell me I have gaps in between?

There is no need for additional action as you've already expanded the bar width in your chart.

Hello,

after sending my screenshot with candlesticks I got a screenshot showing HILO bars with more width of bars (with this of course there is less distance between bars). And I was told how to adjust the bars because there is a gap between my bars. So how does your chart with 30min and 5min look with candlesticks and barwidth=1?

Best regards
Tony

Hello Tonynt,

Thank you for your reply.

I've included 2 screenshots below. The first is with a Bar width of 1 and both data series (5 minute and 30 minute visible) Here you can see that the bars are touching and there is no way to reduce additional space.


The next image is with the 5 minute data series set to transparent, bar gaps reduced as much as possible, and a bar width of 1. You can see here as mentioned, you will not be able to get these bars closer because even thought your 5 minute bars are invisible there still needs to be space for them on the chart.


There is not a way to reduce the spacing of these bars any further because you're viewing 2 time based data series in your chart and the chart still places a 1px gap where each 5 minute bar would be.

If you would like to reduce the spacing you're seeing you'll need to use a single data series.

Hello,

YES, of course! So why does jemaine reply me he/she sees a difference between my screenshot and the one in the reply?? When your 1 min candle is same as mine? This blew up the chat and wasted time.

Best regards

Hello Tonynt,

Thank you for your reply.

You specifically asked for clarification about this point:

what do you mean by "Although I would like to point at a significant difference between the chart that you posted and the chat that I created.
I am able to see that your chat should be able to shorten the gap between bars."

He replied to clarify that point as asked. It appears this issue has been resolved.

[tonynt]

Hello,

the "significant difference between..." is because he had HILO with higher barwidth. So when his/your 1 min chart with candles shows same gaps as my chart how can he reply me that I should be able to shorten the gap between bars?
