[fxtraders]

Hello,
I'm new here.
I've few questions:

1. Is there function like TimeFrameSet(), TimeFrameRestore(), Timeframeexpand() in Ninjatrader?

2. (Optional question) Is there function like Varset and Varget in NInjatrader?

Hi

In NT7, You can use Add(PeriodType.Minute, 60); to add 60 min as additional timeframe.
Or Add(PeriodType.Month,1); Add(PeriodType.Week,1); Add(PeriodType.Day,1);

If you need help to develop custom scritps, I'm available.

Thanks.

Hello fxtraders, and thank you for your questions.

Multi-time frame support is documented in this Help Guide page.

To your second question, since Ninja is built on top of C# we may use C# methods to access a global scope.

For NinjaTrader 7, this is very easy. We provide the files (My) Documents\NinjaTrader 7\bin\Custom\Indicator\UserDefinedMethods.cs and (My) Documents\NinjaTrader 7\bin\Custom\Strategy\UserDefinedMethods.cs . You can store global variables that will be included for all Indicators in this file. Make sure they are part of the Indicator class. For example,


partial class Indicator
{
/// <summary>all the plots from all the indicators</summary>
public static Plot[][] allThePlots;
}



NinjaTrader 8 will not have a similar file. I am including a publicly available link from the MSDN C# documentation which will guide you toward putting together a global scope file in NT8.

Whichever way you choose, you will want to add some logic surrounding your global objects.


Please let us know if there are any other ways we can help
