stategy wizard multiple time frame

[tylerj135]

I suck at C++ and have limited knowledge of it.

Because I can't write code, is there a way I can create a new strategy that would incorporate multiple time frames. I want to use a daily chart with the EMA (10) as a filter of trades, but I want to also use a 5 minute tick chart.

Also how can I use a moving average with displacement? I see offset, but that is vertical offset I think? I'm looking for horizontal displacement. Thanks.

Hello,

Thank you for the questions.

Using the strategy wizard, this would not be possible to create a multi-time frame strategy. This would be something you would need to manually code using NinjaScript.

NinjaScript is C# programming language which is different and to most quite a bit easier than C++.
If you would like I can provide some good learning resources on NinjaScript and C# if you are trying to learn it.

For the moving average, when you apply the indicator, in its properties you will see "Displacement". This can be positive of a negative amount of bars to displace the visual aspect of the indicator.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Can you show me where "Displacement" is? I can't find that anywhere. I'm sure that I'm just overlooking it. Thanks

Also if you could show me those resources on Ninja Script, thanks

Nvm, I see what you are saying about displacement. I meant using displacement in the strategy wizard for a moving average? is that possible?

Hello,

Thank you for the reply.

The displacement is only visual, that you would need to do manually from the chart using the indicator. Or if programmed it can be specified in an indicator.

This is only visual, are you referring to an amount of bars ago? in the wizard it will use the actual data to do comparisons, so if you are looking to compare data X bars ago, it would not be displacement but rather the BarsAgo property.

As far as resources go, NinjaScript is just C# programming language, the term NinjaScript refers to a set of methods for controlling aspects of NinjaTrader.

If you want to learn c# a good starting resource is this page: http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/C_Sharp_Essentials

Sections 5 - 11 are the most relevant to NinjaTrader.

Additionally there is a large resource in the help guide: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h..._reference.htm

And also on the forum: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...splay.php?f=30

I look forward to being of further assistance.

No, not bars ago. Actually displacement. Thanks, so I guess I would have to write the script to specify the actually amount of displacement.
