EasyLanguage to NinjaScript

[RobinT]

Right click in your chart > select Data Series > select Custom Range under Load Data Based On > set the desired Start and End Date > OK.

Can the amount of data loaded be controlled by Ninjascript and can I find out the screen resolution or bar spacing?

RobinT,

There are no recommendations on where to place the files.

You can use our reference samples as a guide for StreamWriter and System.IO functions: http://ninjatrader.com/support/forum...splay.php?f=30

Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolde r.MyDocuments);

Is there a recommended place to put output files generated by the indicator.

[RobinT]

I just want to make sure my data is up to date before i start processing.

Hello RobinT,

There is no function or method to scroll to or move to a set point on the chart in NinjaScript. An automated import of the historical data would not be supported within NinjaScript.

[RobinT]

Do you know how I can automate data import. If I provide a txt file with the updated historical data, how can I automate historical data import.

[RobinT]

In case I am not being clear:

Tradestation does it:

ChartingHost.ScrollTo (dtObj);

where dtObj is a DateTime.

and Multicharts:

scrolltobar ( BarNumber ) ;

where barnumber is a number of bars ago (same as GetBar (dtObj) )

I can load data ok, I just want ninjascript to display a date on the screen

I have uploaded 2 files. All I want the program to do is display the chart at different dates. I have shown 2-4-16 then 2-1-16. I enter the date i want as an input.

RobinT,

I may still not fully understand, but to control a drawing object for example on a specific area you could use the DateTime overload with Time.

DateTime: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...v=vs.110).aspx

Time: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt7/time.htm

The scrollbar at the bottom of the chart display controls which dates are displayed on the screen. Fully right the screen displays the most recent data, fully left and the oldest data is displayed.

How do I control this by program, or how do I select where the chart is displaying?

New Question.

How do I position the display at a certain DateTime.

If I position it at CurrentDate then it will make sure the software runs to completion but then I want to display the user selected date.

RobinT.

I am not sure I fully understand. Can you provide a screenshot or any examples?
