Initial Balance / Opening Range with extensions

[gemify]

Can I contribute? A couple of things: second level time, default session time based on local time zone.

Certainly! If you're familiar with github, please feel free to create a branch and contribute away!

Another suggestion is to provide an option for not showing historical IBs to minimize chart clutter.

Working on it - thanks for your suggestion aligator!

Is there a need for the declaration: using Microsoft.VisualBasic.ApplicationServices;
This does not compile on my machine and it doesn't appear to have any references.

If I comment out this line the code compiles however it does take quite some time to calculate.

tickets2themoon, thanks for pointing out that unused declaration. It has been removed. I need to remember to use the Remove and Sort Usings on VS more often

Hello thanks for uploading the update. we did a step forward now I can install it, ninja load it, but when I click Apply and after Ok the script freeze the window stuck at "Calculating..."....any tips?

Thanks for the github gemify worked great. I was wondering if it would be possible to have the text on the right hand side? Obviously as the day progresses would still be good to see what each line relates to etc. Thanks

Great indicator! I use something similar on tradingview as an autobot - if this was converted to a similar strategy with the TP/SL that would be outstanding.. I get around 85% on ES 5min chart with the one on Tradinview https://www.tradingview.com/script/Q...-Trend-System/

Also guys be careful that Ninja trader display the closing time of the candles, so if we want for example an Opening range in a 5m chart, we need to set the start at 9:35 - 10:30, because we want to calculate the High from 9:30 onward, and the 9:35 is indeed the candle that starts at 9:30. and the candle shown as 10:30 is indeed the candle that close at 10:30

Hey gemify this indicator is exactly what I've been looking for!

Since NinjaTrader timestamps at candle close I think the 30 second opening range high and low values are slightly off. Today 3/24/23 the 30 second opening range high was 3963.5 on ES but the indicator is showing 3964. I am not good at programming but I tried digging into the code and unfortunately couldn't solve it, multiple errors later... If you could help out that would be well appreciated.

Hello, I was successful in installing indicator but if anyone can help me out, I am trying to use indicator with ZB instrument. Not sure which time frame I am to adjust for opening range for the ZB. Central Time, Thank you gemify, this indicator works great!

[MrDarin]

Has anyone been able to get the values to work in a strategy? I can select them, but the strategy doesn't work.

I tried to use this in a strategy and couldn't get it to work correctly either.

gemify The indicator will not display when I try to change the time into the 8am hour. The first version works fine but the newer one does not.

[mktforecast]

Anyone has been able to make it works.

What is the proper time frame (1 min, 5min ?)

Not working NinjaTrader version 8.0.28.0 64 bit

gemify do you have any idea why it is not working ? Thank you very very much !

Updated version (v1.1) is available here: https://github.com/OrderFlowTools/In...lance-v1.1.zip
See release notes here: https://github.com/OrderFlowTools/In...eases/tag/v1.1

• Updated to calculate and render IB based on Ninjatrader's bar timestamp idiosyncrasy.
• New option to render current IB only.
• Optional price markers (IBHigh, IBLow etc) on right edge of screen.
• Exposed IB values as indicator properties that can be used in strategies.

There have been a few questions about how to use the indicator in a strategy. Here are some notes on this:

- It is best to use the indicator in scripted form (It hasn't been tested using the strategy wizard)
- In the Configure state in the strategy code, add a 30-second data series for the indicator. The indicator uses this data series for it's calculations.
- Create the indicator instance and make sure to invoke the Update() call on the indicator instance.
- For entry/exit logic, the indicator exposes the following:

- IsIBComplete
- IsORComplete
- IBHigh
- IBLow
- SessionMid
- ORHigh
- ORLow
- IBX1Upper / IBX1Lower
- IBX2Upper / IBX2Lower
- IBX3Upper / IBX3Lower

Here's an example of how to use the indicator in a strategy with some additional inline notes: IBTestStrategy.cs
