Printing data on two series on same chart

[arbuthnot]

Hi everyone

On a chart, I have two data series:

- Panel 1: time-based bars

- Panel 2: Renko bars

What I would like to do is print out (per the Output window) the closing price and time of each time based bar, and likewise for each Renko bar.

I know how to print data for a chart with just one series but, having looked through Help, I'm still not too clear how to do this for multiple series.

Any assistance will be be much appreciated.

Hello Arbuthnot,

Thank you for your post.

You would need to use the AddRenko() and Add() for any extra instruments or timeframes to get that information.

Then you can use Closes[][] and Times[][] to get the closing price and time of the data series you want to get.

We have sample built into NinjaTrader, Tools -> Edit NinjaScript -> Strategies -> SampleMultiTimeframe

Additionally here are links on getting started with Multiple Timeframes -

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Thanks very much, Cal. That's very helpful.

I'll only come back to you if I really get stuck!

Hi again, Cal

I'm half-way there now, I think, but I'm stuck when it comes to formatting.

I have a $EURUSD chart with a) Renko (as primary series) and b) 30-Second bars

In Initialize(), I've put:

Add(PeriodType.Second, 30);

In OnBarUpdate(), I've put:

            Print("Renko" );
            Print(Times[0][0].Ticks );
            Print(Closes[0][0]);
            Print("Seconds" );
            Print(Times[1][0].Ticks );
            Print(Closes[1][0]);

This is the output I get:

Renko
6.3536816466E+17
1.3635
Seconds
6.353682138E+17
1.3633

The times are in a strange format. I'd like these to be in C#."ToString("T")" format, such as 10:11:29 PM.

I can do this for the 'Time' method, but this doesn't seem to work for 'Times'. Could you kindly show me how to do this.

Thanks again, Cal.

You wouldn't want to do the .Ticks as this will be a very obscure value.

The Times[0][0] will return MM\DD\YYYY HH:MM:SS structure when called.

You can use Print(Times[0][0].ToShortTimeString()); to get just the time and not include the date.

That's exactly what I wanted.

Much obliged, Cal.
