Proper way to match the same value coming from Order Flow Cumlative Delta bar mode?

[jalley]

I created a delta variable that displays OnMarketData(). My Delta shows drastically different number than the OrderFlowCumlativeDelta Indicator in bar mode. An example right now I'm looking at mine showing a value of 1342 and the same indicator in a panel below is showing 106 both positive. Most of the time it tracks the right direction but is always much larger. If I remove the += and make it just =, it only shows 1 or 2 neg or pos.


// Relevant Code
protected OrderFlowCumulativeDelta CumulativeDelta;
protected double Delta;


else if (State == State.Configure)
{
AddDataSeries(Data.BarsPeriodType.Minute, 1);
AddDataSeries(Data.BarsPeriodType.Tick, 1);
}


protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
Delta = 0;
// Other code
}


protected override void OnMarketData(MarketDataEventArgs marketDataUpdate)
{
base.OnMarketData(marketDataUpdate);
if (CurrentBars[2] > -1)
{
Delta += OrderFlowCumulativeDelta(BarsArray[2], CumulativeDeltaType.BidAsk, CumulativeDeltaPeriod.Bar, 0).DeltaClose[0];
}
}

Thanks in advance!

Hello jalley,

The Orderflow indicators require the structure shown in the help guide samples. I don't see that you have done that in this sample, if you are not making the code look like the sample in the following page that may be part of the problem: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...umulativeDelta
The indicators need to use OnBarUpdate to call the inciator from BarsInProgress 1.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

I have it resolved but not in the way the documentation shows because it doesn't update realtime. I found a way to get it to update realtime;
