    Parabolic SAR dot

    I am switching over from TD Ameritrade StrategyDesk to NT 8, and I have a looking for guidance on when the PSAR dot gets drawn on screen.

    The PSAR in NT8 appears on screen once the bar is closed/locked. I am used to (and prefer) the PSAR being live on screen when the bar is being built and moving according to price action.

    Is there a way to have the "PSAR dot" reactive on screen, so when the threshold is reached it can flip to the other side of price action? This will allow for a more precise intrabar CLOSE instead of after the bar is locked (and much time could have passed.)

    Thanks.

    Change the indicator's Calculate property to OnEachTick.

      Calculate doesn't exist in the NT8 Parabolic SAR indicator as it does in my Strategies.

      Will adding this new section of code to "(State == State.SetDefaults)":

      Calculate = Calculate.OnEachTick;

      change how the PSAR reacts?

      Thanks!

        Hello ArmKnuckle,

        Adding Calculate = Calculate.OnEachTick; to State.SetDefaults will set the indicator to calculate on each tick by default rather than at bar close.

        Please take a look at this help guide link for further information about the Calculate property: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...?calculate.htm

          I do not know which ParabolicSAR you are using then. I clearly see "Calculate" on the one in my NT8B11, and all others before it.

            Figured it out.

            Thanks!
