Help with heikin ashi candle charts

[reggiedonald]

Hi guys

I am very new to trading but about to begin sim trading on Ninja...I recently downloaded Ninja to get familiar with it in the hope of buying it for my trading plan. I need to use heikin ashi candles on a 400 tick chart for the ES for my preferred strategy but cannot seem to find them available? Is this true?

I know many other platforms like thinkorswim and tradestation offer heikin ashi charts so I am sure Ninja would??
I read somewhere you can download an indicator for them but wouldn't this lag slightly?

Thanks in advance!

Hello Reg,

Unfortunately a Heiken Ashi candle style is not supported by default in NinjaTrader 6.5. However, a Heiken Ashi indicator is supported. Please see the link below for information how to add indicators to your chart.

NinjaTrader 7 will support it as candle style. More information regarding NinjaTrader 7 can be found at the following link.
