Multiple timeframes in indicator does not seem to work... should it?

Hello trader4_,

Thanks for your reply.

Are you able to create a 1-minute chart?

Are you able to create a 5-minute chart? (the 5-minute bars would be created from 1-minute data)

[trader4_]

Should not that work?

[trader4_]

Yes, I min, 5 minutes.. I loaded bid prices only

Hello trader4_,

Thanks for your reply.

Are you able to create charts of 1 minute data using "last"?

Are you able to create charts of 5 minute data using "last"?

[trader4_]

no, not using last... data is not loaded

Hello trader4_,

Thanks for your reply.

This is likely the source of the issue then.

In NinjaTrader, by default, this statement: Add(PeriodType.Minute, 5); would look for "last" type.

With reference to the help guide on the Add() method: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help.../nt7/?add3.htm

Please test using Add(PeriodType.Minute, 5, MarketDataType.Bid);

Even If I load last data.... it does not work
IS this a bug in Ninja 7?

Hello trader4_,

Thanks for your reply.

If I understand correctly you have historical data that you imported as bid only, is that correct?

Did you try what I previously advised: Please test using Add(PeriodType.Minute, 5, MarketDataType.Bid);

[trader4_]

That was true in past tense. When I realized the last data was missing I imported that too.

You suggestion does not seem to work

[NinjaTrader_PaulH]

Hello trader4_,

Thanks for your replies.

Correct, I forgot that when specifying the Marketdata type you also have to specify the instrument name according to: Add(string instrumentName, PeriodType periodType, int period, MarketDataType marketDataType)
Reference: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help.../nt7/?add3.htm

Please change Add(PeriodType.Minute, 5, MarketDataType.Bid); to Add("", PeriodType.Minute, 5, MarketDataType.Bid);
Using an empty string for the instrument name will pull the same instrument as the chart bars.

Alternatively, if you now have "last" data, then you can use Add(PeriodType.Minute, 5)

ok, it works. thanks
