Ploting Bars For Only Certain Times Of Day

[Monkie]

Three questions about charting:

1) Can NT plot only the first 30m of the day (or any time period I choose)?

2) Can NT combine consecutive down or up bars along with adding volume automatically?

3) Can NT only show pre/post market chart? Sort of the reverse of only showing main session data.

I believe this would require some scripting. Most important right now is the answer - is it possible.

Hello,

1) Can NT plot only the first 30m of the day (or any time period I choose)?

Yeah this can be setup by creating a custom session template: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...on_manager.htm

2) Can NT combine consecutive down or up bars along with adding volume automatically?

Yes this sounds like it would be possible however it would likely require custom coding. I'd need further clarification as to how the bar should look before I can properly direct you.

3) Can NT only show pre/post market chart? Sort of the reverse of only showing main session data.

Yes, this could also be done by creating your own custom template. Videos and documents on how to do this are in the above link.

Let me know if I can further assist.

Thanks for the quick reply. As for question (2), it would require some if/then logic. I have yet to write it out. When I do I'll post again.

Question: Would it be best to post in here on such an issue or the programming forum?
