Can't plot past current bar - Ichi Clouds incomplete

[Crassius]

I don't know what to tell you.... its working for me on the latest version of NT as you can see in the picture I posted earlier.

Can you post a screenshot showing blank space to the right of the current bar?

[himu73]

Yes I did scroll to the left. the chart adjusts to the period on the left

[Crassius]

Are you scrolling the chart left to reveal chart area beyond the current bar?

[himu73]

No luck .tried with the indicator in post 29. Is there some chart setting I need to change

[Crassius]

Try the one in post 29 of this thread...

[himu73]

Tried your suggestion still not able to get it to work.which version of the indicator should I use. Can you share the link.I am using the indicator from below link.

The post is from futuretrader.

When I scroll to the left on ES 5MIN chart the future cloud is still not visible.

[Crassius]

Attached is a screen shot with the indicator showing the future clouds. Make sure you are selecting the correct Ichi indicator.... it should be at the top of your indicator list named Ichimoku... with a blank space in front of the name to force it to the top of your indicator list.

After you apply it, you need to scroll your chart left to reveal the future clouds... once you manually scroll left to reveal the clouds, NinjaTrader will continue in that position, but you have to manually scroll when you first apply the indicator.

Settings for future cloud

I have using the ichimoku script from big mike's forum but still not able to plot the future cloud. Are there any specific indicator settings to acheive this ?

[HKinani]

Thanks,

It imports but it does not show up where expected in the list, but at the top
because of

Name = " Ichimoku";

Impressive

Thanks Crassius!

About 18 months ago I talked to a trader that was working on porting the Corona to NT but I think they just gave up on it due to graphical limitations of NT. I can't remember the group he was working with now though.

Clouds PLot Properly In This Version

Here is a version I found on BigMike's forum that overcomes the future cloud problem.

I have come to learn that this forum is more for answering common support questions, and anything above that gets much less help here. Try BigMike's forum for somewhat better programmer to programmer related support.

You will have to deal with BigMike's (somewhat) heavy handed sales pitch to join the paid version of the forum, but there is lots available in the free areas.... especially programmer to programmer support.

I spoke with John Ehlers last month, and he will be releasing a new add on specifically designed to run on NinjaTrader in the the next month or so.

That project is code named Swami, but may be released under a different name. If you are a fan of his as I am, you might want to keep your eyes out for it.

Better yet, drop John Ehlers an email at ehlers(remove this)@mesasoftware.com and ask him to please release a ninjatrader version of MESA9, so we can have access to MESA's dominant cycle measurement. He told me he would in about 6 months, but it can only help if he knows there is some interest from NinjaTrader users.

The Corona indicators are good in their own right (the NinjaTrader versions available for download that I have seen all have errors in them and return wrong readings) , but nothing is as accurate or as fast to measurement as his MESA cycle measurement algorithm. Without MESA's fast, accurate and smooth cycle measurement, all cycle based indicators, including the Corona indicators suffer from poor cycle measurement. We need it on NinjaTrader.

Utterly Ridiculous

Just want to vote my view that I find this limitation to NT irritating, and it keeps me from buying the package... I still have to use another software package for ichimoku so that it can plot forward of the current bar, something that is essential in this indicator.

Since Ichimoku is so widely used in Asia, I must know its support resistence levels, because the Asian currencies trade based on the Ichimoku support/resistence levels. You guys are seriously limiting your market base by building in a limitation that locks out more than two thirds of the world's population's favorite indicator.

Hope to see this resolved soon.

I agree, utterly ridiculous. Let me throw another jab about NT being incapable of using John Ehler's Corona indicators because of similar graphical incontinence.

Thanks to this forum, the members (especially oops!) and bigmiketrading, I now have future clouds. Greatly appreciated everyone!!!

[Crassius]

Thanks for the link... that does solve the Ichi problem....

I suggest NinjaTrader support create a reference sample for the code library that covers overriding the plot has been successfully done over at Big Mike's.

There are other times when one doesn't want to address the Y axis with a indicator value by it's bar... predictive moving averages for one.....
