Indicator - SMA of other timeframes

[TheChingachgook]

Hi Guys

Currently I'm developing a reversal indicator - let's say for the 5 min timeframe

This indicator returns a signal, when the reversal occurs at a location point like the SMA(20) PrevDayHigh, PrevDayLow ....

now I also would like to get a Signal when the reversal occures at the SMA(20) of a higher timeframe (15min, 30min,..)

is it possible to implement a SMA of a higher timeframe into a 5min - or whatever - indicator

many thanks for your help

Hi TheChingachgook, yes this is possible in a MultiTimeFrame strategy - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...struments.html

For sample code you can review the 'SampleMultiTimeFrame' installed per default.

Indicator - SMA of other timeframes

Thank you for your quick reply

In my strategy I'm already using the multitimeframe feature - but I would need it in an indicator.

I would like to add this signal to the MarketAnalyzer and this tool only accepts indicators.

The Add-Method doesn't work within an indicator....

So... is it possible somehow else

Unfortunately not, however multiple time frame indicators will be possible in our upcoming NinjaTrader 7, scheduled for the second quarter of this year.

Hi!
I'd like to plot a SMA 150 from the Daily chart on a 1-Minute-chart. What I have so far:

protected override void Initialize()
        {
            Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Orange), PlotStyle.Line, "Plot0"));            
            Add(PeriodType.Minute,240);
            Add(PeriodType.Day,1);
            
            CalculateOnBarClose = true;
        }

        /// <summary>
        /// Called on each bar update event (incoming tick)
        /// </summary>
        protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
            if (BarsInProgress != 0) 
                return;
            
            // Checks to ensure all Bars objects contain enough bars before beginning
            if (CurrentBars[0] <= BarsRequired || CurrentBars[1] <= BarsRequired || CurrentBars[2] <= BarsRequired)
                return;
            
            Plot0.Set(SMA(Closes[1], 14)[0]);
            
            doExitSignals();
            
            doEntrySignals();            
        }

What I get:

Die beste Übereinstimmung für die überladene NinjaTrader.Strategy.StrategyBase.Add(NinjaTrader. Indicator.IndicatorBase)-Methode hat einige ungültige Argumente.;CS1502 - click for info;35;13;

1-Argument: kann nicht von "NinjaTrader.Gui.Chart.Plot" in "NinjaTrader.Indicator.IndicatorBase" konvertiert werden.;CS1503 - click for info;35;17;

Der Name "Plot0" ist im aktuellen Kontext nicht vorhanden.;CS0103 - click for info;55;4;

Welcome to our forums, are you attempting to do this in a strategy script? Those could unfortunately not plot per default, only indicators could.

Thank you. Yes, I'm trying to do this within a strategy script.

Ok, then please try do plot the higher timeframe MA from an indicator, this is now possible as well in NT7.
