NQ link with MNQ order

[ClFil]

Hello brucerobinson,

Thanks for your reply to the OP.

If manual trading, another option is to create a chart with both NQ and MNQ and you can set the chart trader to the MNQ. (or either instrument).

Hi Paul, for manual trading (scalping) is really difficult work with the method you wrote because is really hard to put an order through the orderflow chart, do you have any advice on how i can create an order in the mini chart but for the micro contract?

Hello ClFil,

Thanks for your post.

I've created a short video which shows you the process to create the condition of a chart that shows the ES 06-20 mini and sends orders through the chart trader to the MES 06-20 micro.

Hi PaulH,

Thanks for your helpful video. I work with tick charts so this method won't work as it messes up the spacing between bars since I can't match the bars' open/close of both instruments (even if I try to get as close as possible) and it becomes an issue when trying to trace trend lines or channels. Any suggestion to work around this issue?

Thank you in advance for any help or suggestions.

Hello PatrickM,

Thanks for your post and welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!

Tick charts with two different instruments can be difficult and may not be acceptable for the reason you stated however can you clarify what your goal is (is it the same as visualize on one and send trades to the hidden one?)

Can you provide a screenshot of what you have tried so that I can see what you are looking at and working with.

Thanks PaulH for your reply.

That's correct, I would like to visualize and make the chart analysis on one instrument and send trades to the hidden one using chart trader as placing the trades on the SuperDOM is not ideal with my trading style. I was hoping that maybe there was a way to insert both instruments on one chart and just have the chosen instrument bars be displayed without having the hidden instrument affecting the plotted chart or even better, be able to add instruments on the chart trader regardless of the instruments plotted on the chart.


Thanks in advance for the help and/or suggestions.

Hello PatrickM,

Thanks for your reply.

Please create the chart with the 2 tick based data series and hide the second data series as shown in the video. Once the chart displays, please right mouse click on the chart and select "Properties". In the chart properties window, please uncheck the selection "Equidistant bar spacing". This may or may not provide a better view for you.

If that does not meet your needs, I have no other alternatives to suggest.

Hi PaulH,

Thanks for trying. No, I thought of your suggestion before you sent it and it doesn't work BUT the way to make it work is to have the hidden instrument set @ 1440 minutes value so spacing is consistent. Problem solved.

Cheers.

NinjaTrader_PaulH,
In an unrelated topic, I'm trying to download the NT8 version of the Percentile Rank from the following ecosystem link:

https://ninjatraderecosystem.com/user-app-share-download/percentile/

The problem I'm having is the download won't complete. Do you have a link that functions as designed or can you direct me to
the indicator elsewhere?

I thank you in guidance for any help you can provide. JM

Hello PatrickM,

Thanks for your reply.

I'm not sure I understand your solution, as i thought you were working with Tick bars?

Can you elaborate further and provide a screenshot of your settings/chart?

[PatrickM]

Hi PaulH,

Sorry for the late reply. Yes, my main chart is with ticks bars but by having the invisible chart with the other instrument on the background set at 1440 minutes allows the spacing of the ticks bars chart (the visible one that I use to make my analysis) to remain consistent so trendlines, channels and others drawings on the visible chart are accurate again.

Hope this makes more sense.

Thanks.
