Multiple time frame price series

[UncleRyan]

1. How can I access price for a specific time period in the same code?

For instance, I want to do calculations with the Close High Low, etc. of the Daily, Weekly and say..Hourly within the same function.. how do I specify a time specific price series?

2. Is there a way to reload an indicator on a chart if I recompile it, without removing, applying, and readding it?

Draw.Text(this, "bartype"+CurrentBar, "2", 0, High[0] + 3, Brushes.Green);

3. How would I add a bold, font size, or alignment to this? I tried the new Font but that gave me errors.

Off topic: 4. Is there a way to tie an instrument list to a market analyzer? For instance I have a "daily" list and its loaded in my market analyzer. If I want to add a symbol to that list, do I actually have to type it in manually to the market analyzer, then add it to the instrument list, or add it to the instrument list - delete the market analyzer contents, reload the instrument list.. you get my point... is there some way I'm missing to keep lists and market analyzers synced?


Thank you very much for any assistance.

Hi UncleRyan, thanks for your question.

1. In NinjaScript we have the ability to make multi time frame and instrument scripts. You run the code on your primary series (the one on the chart, BarsArray[0]) then every series added with AddDataSeries will also be available once the script has finished loading. We have a comprehensive guide on multi time frame and instrument scripts here:

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/?multi-time_frame__instruments.htm

2. If you change code in the OnStateChanged method the script should be removed then re-added to the chart. If you change code anywhere else you can press F5 on your keyboard to reload all attached NinjaScripts.

3. Use either one of these overloads:

Draw.Text(NinjaScriptBase owner, string tag, bool isAutoScale, string text, int barsAgo, double y, int yPixelOffset, Brush textBrush, [B]SimpleFont font[/B], [B]TextAlignment alignment[/B], Brush outlineBrush, Brush areaBrush, int areaOpacity)
Draw.Text(NinjaScriptBase owner, string tag, bool isAutoScale, string text, DateTime time, double y, int yPixelOffset, Brush textBrush, [B]SimpleFont font[/B], [B]TextAlignment alignment[/B], Brush outlineBrush, Brush areaBrush, int areaOpacity)

You see a SimpleFont object and a TextAlignment object must be supplied.

4. If you update your instrument list (add or remove from it) you can go to the market analyzer>right click>Add Instruments>MyList>Select All.

Please let me know if I can assist any further.

This is all very helpful - thanks a lot, Chris. Will probably be back with questions

Figured out some things on my own

One other item I can't seem to resolve, why the red/green numbers are so different on differently positioned on the various time frames. I've tried changing the 15 * Ticksize etc. but It just is accurate. Ideally I would want them all like the top middle.

if (High[0] > High[1] && Low[0] > Low[1]){
                Draw.Text(this, "bartype"+CurrentBar, "2", 0,High[0] + (15 * TickSize), Brushes.Green); // 2 Up
            }else if (High[0] < High[1] && Low[0] < Low[1]){
                Draw.Text(this, "bartype"+CurrentBar, "2", 0, Low[0] - (15 * TickSize), Brushes.Red); // 2 Down
            }

Hi UncleRyan, thanks for your reply.

Do you want these two '2's in the middle of the bar? We have a price series called Median that calculates the middle price of every bar:

If I am not correct here please clarify.

I look forward to hearing from you.
