Multiple Timeframes

[Gumphrie]

On second thoughts, could do it in the MTF in the tradition of Josh's stochastic overlay. Interesting.....

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

The Stochastics Overlay code will probably need some tweaking on its positional calculations though as it does not seem to like any panel but the price panel. Just an FYI for people undertaking further development.

MTF of the CCI would be very nice as well.
Is there any way to have indicators in Multiple Time Frames? on the same chart.

Thanks

Unfortunately this is not supported at this time. We have it on our lsit for Nt7 (end of this year).

[Gumphrie]

Doing an MTF CCI, EMA at least, and maybe a Stochastics overlay are on my list of things to do. Hopefully I'll get it done before NT7!

Dierk, I assume in the upcoming native version in NT7 you will be able to reference MTFs within OnBarUpdate, a bit like multiple timeframes in strategies?

We have this on our list, yes

Hi Gumphrie,

Thanks for the indicator. I am new to NT so forgive me if I misunderstood it.

My main chart is 1 min and I place your indicator to 5 minutes. What I notice is that the 5 min of your indicator do not visual correspond to the common five minutes interval chart, if are placed side by side (or place the crosshair on the middle of a 5 min candlestick chart and the time will show, say, 10:00 , 10:05, 10:10 etc while in your indicator doing the same it gives me 10:02, 10:07, 10:12 etc).

Maybe I am missing something ... - Can you help me? I need the higher timeframe of your indicator to be the same as the common 5 five chart. Many thanks,

astra

Hi Astra,

It does create its own bars, rather than using NT bar objects or similar. The cross hair won't match up time wise because the the spacing on the MTF is more to do with scaling rather than time.

However, I might be able to help on specific timeframes, but it may break something else. PM me with exactly what you need and I might be able to help.

Gumphrie,

I have been using this indicator for 2 weeks and I consider it the best out there. As a reader of price action, is there a way for you to modify this code to highlight certain candles such as bullish & bearish engulfing etc.. I would be happy to pay you for your work if this is possible.

Thanks again for a great indicator and your time.

MTF Framework

Thanks for the complements.

I did create a framework to easily convert any NT indicator to a Multi-Timeframe version. It uses the underlying "MTFBar.cs" indicator/class to do the actual calculations. Its still limited to 'multiples' of the displayed timeframe on the chart but is more intelligent in terms of missed bars and fitting time based timeframes into hours or days where appropriate (like genuine NT bars).

Attached, I've included MTF versions of SMA,EMA,MACD and Stochastics so other people can see how I've done it and create there own MTF indicators.

Perhaps people will like to post their conversions.

Gumphie,

Thank you for sharing this with me. I am not a programmer but if I can assist you in any way, let me know.

Thanx Gumphie, great work nice idea so i can use stochastic of two frames in one frame. I test out .... and work well

Hi Gumphrie

thanks for sharing this indicator. it worked great however it only seems to be plotting the
bar close in the databox? how do i see the other values like low or high?
same for using this in a strategy, thanks

The MTF uses ArrayLists and not Plots, which is why you won't see anything in the databox.

Probably best you create an indicator using the Framework to expose the values you want, you can use that to see databox values and use in a strategy. Start out by looking at one of the sample indicators in the Framework zip.

Framework configuration question

I really like this multiple time framework. I would like to use it with a time frame that is a fraction of the original time frame. I can only program in integers. Is it possible to program in say a 1.3 multiplier instead on only 1, 2, 3, 4 etc? Thanks for your hard work
