Keeping value when refresh

[AldricJC]

How do I keep the value from changing when user hits refresh or adds another indicator?

Additionally, how do I get open position unrealize pnl from multiple instrument using the indicator?

Hello AldricJC,

Thank you for your post.

What value is changing? Is this the plot?

You can use Position.GetProfitLoss() for the strategy's position: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...profitloss.htm

When you refresh a chart, real-time data is replaced with historical data. In case that an indicator value changes after a refresh, there can be different reasons:

(1) historical data (backfill) is different from real-time data

This is for example the case if you feed volume indicators with volume data from Interactive Brokers. The real-time volume they supply is just estimated volume (and in fact completely false). When you refresh this volume data is replaced with (mostly correct) historical data. Any volume based indicator, such as a VWMA or a VWAP will change its value.

(2) badly coded indicators

Some indicators perform calculations in a different way when used with real-time data compared to the way they work with historical data. In fact many indicators that you can download for free a flawed in some way or another. Before you use any unknown indicators with you charts, you need to perform a test, whether they work correctly.

I noticed this about VWAP even though I have CQG data. Why is the real-time volume data "false?" BEFORE and AFTER I F5, the volume as reported in the data-box remains unchanged even though the VWAP plot (on a minute chart) changes. It doesn't seem that the volume is false, it seems that the indicator is "false."

No, and I'm not an Elite member.

Apparently it doesn't have the refresh issue?

Send me a private message with your e-mail, and I will send you the indicator. Which VWAP did you use?

To be honest, I don't remember, But I think it was from NT forum.
