Make advance by 5 minutes the 5-minute chart

[AthrunZala]

In the Charts, I'm using a 5-minute chart, can I change the setting in order to make the 5-minute labels advance by 5 minutes?

Hello AthrunZala,

You can use the left and right arrow keys on your keyboard to scroll the chart one bar at a time. More information can be found at the link below under 'How to change the horizontal scale and range of a chart'.

If this does not address your question, please clarify.

Forgive me, I failed to clarify it further. Well I'm also using another software, so I like comparing it to ninja trader candlestick bar by candlestick bar.

When I use the other software's 5 min chart, for example there is a candlestick at 3:05pm, so I compare this 3:05pm candlestick bar to its corresponding candlestick bar in ninja trader's 3:05pm candlestick bar. The problem is this corresponding candlestick bar is at 3:10pm in ninja trader.

My question is can I change the settings in ninjatrader to make all the 5-minute chart labels below the chart advance by 5 minutes so that it is equal to the other's softwares 5-minute chart?

Hello AthrunZala,

I see, thank you for clarifying.

Unfortunately it is not supported to display price bars at the start time. NinjaTrader timestamps it bars at the closing time. This cannot be changed.

Okay, thank you Jason, yup it is timestamp at the closing of the 5-minute instead of at the beginning.
