Help with arrows

[js1257]

I created a MA cross strategy. When I click on the strategy the price goes to the top and scrunches up into a narrow line. How do I alleviate this? Thanx.

Hello,

Something you are plotting on the chart is not scaled the same as the price. Look at your plot values.

Ben how do I go about scaling them the same or correctly?

js1257, not sure I follow - do you draw arrows within the strategy? If yes, please check into the Y Axis value set.

Thank you for your reply. I did make it so that it does paint arrows on the chart. In playing with the Y axis it did fix one thing in that it does not paint the arrows on the bar but now places them above or below the price bar. However the same study on a different instrument still paints the arrows on the price bar. How do I correct this?

Please post a screenshot of how you have set this up for the strategy, if you reference TickSize it will for sure be different for various symbols.

[js1257]

I referenced price.

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

So did you just use price as Y axis value or price in combo with an offset based on TickSize like demonstrated here? - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...gOnAChart.html

I will make the same study with a different name and play with it. Then I will let you know. Thanx.

Thanks for your article and it's really a nice one. I did make it so that it does paint arrows on the chart.

You may need to code the TickSize multiplier as an input to make it usable on different instruments, so you can adjust on the fly as needed....

[js1257]

Bertrand how do you do this? Thanx

You take a look at the attached sample, showing the concept for the long side of things....
