Heiken Ashi and NT8

[ALBER]

Hello,

I try to program an strategy in NT8 using Heiken Ashi , I know that now in NT8 is a new BarType , but I do not want to use as BarType (I use Renko ) . I want to introduce Heiken Ashi as condition in the strategy as I could do in NT7.

in NT7 I could program instructions like this:

(this.HeikenAshi().HAOpen[0] >= this.HeikenAshi().HAClose[0])

is it available in NT8 , and what would be the translation?

Hello ALBER,

Thanks for your post.

You are correct, the Heiken-Ashi in NinjaTrader 8 is a bar type but it does not cover Range or Renko bars.

A forum member has posted his version of the HA indicator for NT8 which you can download here: http://ninjatrader.com/support/forum...32&postcount=3

I believe the translation,using the above indicator, would be: CustomHeikenAshi().HAOpen[0] >= CustomHeikenAshi().HAClose[0]

Hello laredo787,

Thanks for your post.

In NT8 Heiken-Ashi is available as a bar type. You can access all bar types through the NinjaScript editor. Please note that NT8 questions should be posted in the NT8 forums, thank-you.

HA bar type

i understood HA to be a bar type.However when a set the data series>> HA,and then go to select say a 60 min chart,it resets the chart to a minute bar not an HA bar??

Hello laredo787,

Thanks for your post.

If you want a 60 minute Heiken-Ashi chart you would need to go into the data series and ensure that Heiken-Ashi is selected and then select the type (minute) and then set the value.
