Moving averages not affected by gaps.

[optiontrader]

Is there a way to show moving averages for just that particular day? Moving averages that are not affected by the gaps that the markets produce in the morning? TIA

Hello optiontrader,

Thank you for your post.

This would require only loading the data for that day or creating a custom indicator that only calculates averages for each day starting on the first bar of the session.

To only load data for one day right click in the chart > select Data Series > Days To Load > 1.

To create a custom indicator you would need to build it in NinjaScript which is NinjaTrader's programming language based on C#. For information on creating indicators please visit the following link: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...indicators.htm
For checking the first bar of the session you would use Bars.FirstBarOfSession: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...rofsession.htm

Please let me know if you have any questions.
