Historical in MarketAnalyzer.Column ?

[zweistein]

Hello Ninja Team,

currently I am writing a MarketAnalyzer.Column.

I notice however that in the

OnBarUpdate() function Historical does not work as expected!

Historical does always return false,

but the Time[0] value can be 7-7-2009 15.30, which is 2 days ago!

Please can you give any hint? Is this a bug or is this expected behaviour?
Am I wrong with the usage ?

OnBarUpdate(){
if(Historical) return; // will never trigger
Print(Time[0].ToString()); // can be well in the past

}

If it is a bug, please tell me as I will write a fix in this case.
Otherwise, please enlight me the workings of MarketAnalyzer.Column. If you can give an example (other than PositionManagment.cs) that would be very helpful

Best regards

Andreas

Andreas,

Unfortunately we do not support writing of columns. You should instead be writing indicators that can be added to a Market Analyzer as an Indicator column.

OK,

thank you!

I better don't let you know how many undocumented features I use in my application. I see NinjaTrader as a good framework, but to get full flexibility one needs more software on top of Ninja.


Best regards
