Is it possible to plot the OHLC for every day automatically?

[Johnny]

Is this indicator currently available in NT8?

I'm away from my main computer and can't check at the moment.

CurrentDayOHL and PriorDayOHLC are available in NinjaTrader 8.

The specific suggestion in this thread has not yet been implemented.

The specific suggestion in this thread has not yet been implemented.

Isn't that a little odd? 2 years later?

I suspect it takes a competent coder less than 30 minutes to create the indicator. I know other companies that implement feedback from customers very quickly.

I think that daily OHLC lines would be considered a basic utility and something most traders would like to have on their charts.

It would be nice to not have to rely on 3rd party code for very simple stuff...

Difficulty of implementation is only one of many factors which determines when and if a feature request is implemented. Another factor would be user demand.

We are currently tracking demand for this feature, but do not have any update at this time.

So, if enough people request it, you will add it?

It's a basic tool, IMO, so I'm sure many people would like to have this.

To be honest, this (lack of basic indicators and lack of fast implementation) pretty much convinced me to change to Sierra Charts (and I know maaaany users have done so because of the mentioned reasons and others) which can do this (OHLC) and a lot, lot more customizable studies.

But, I still love Ninja and don't want to learn a new platform right now, so I'm staying with Ninja.

I'm not saying this to be a difficult customer, but I think you should know what customers value and look for.

Thanks for the feedback, Johnny. There is not one magic formula for implementation of a feature. You've done your part - informing us of your desire for this feature. On our end, we'll continue to track this feature request. I'd recommend monitoring the release notes so you can see what changes are made with each new release:
