Confused

[Duval]

Hi,
the granularity definitely helps and makes backtesting much much more accurate.

Is there anyway to have the backtest signals drawn on the small timeframe chart (3 seconds) also displayed on the 5 mn chart ? Because actually when I backtest it switch to small time frame which is normal, but when I go back in 5mn timeframe I don't see the signals anymore.

Thanks,
Duval

Unfortunately not at this time.

Is this feature included in 7.0 ?

Thanks,

Hi Duval,

Unfortunately we are not yet in the position to announce NinjaTrader 7 features, we will do so as appropriate.

Ok, but I really hope it is included because it is a HUGE loss of time currently to use the cross air to see where the trades between the different timeframe charts.

Hi Duval,

Have you tried coding your signals up visually? This way you can run those on all your needed timeframes and get easier confirmation when action is needed...

Hi,
can you be a bit more specific please, what exactly can be achieved with coding signals visually ? I currently have signals on my 3 seconds charts..... do I need to open another chart ? Or just reload the 3 second chart as 5 mn chart ?

Thanks,
Duval

Hi Duval,

I have not followed this thread intimately, but you can use any of the Draw() methods to add a visual marker on your chart. Do this at the same time you make trades and you will know when your signals are triggering.

Hi Josh,
I did not mention that my requirements to show trade signals on higher time frame is in the context of a Backtest, so I don't know if your remarks applies ?!

Duval,

As I mentioned earlier I have not been following this thread intimately and Bertrand is off for the day.

What are you trying to do if it is not to come up with visual representations? Just use a Draw() method anywhere you want this visual.
