Making HeikenAshi to use less system resources

[commodity_trader]

Hi Support,

The current HiekenAshi indicator that comes default with Ninja, appears very resource intensive as it draws many draw objects and has "CalculateOnbarClose= false"

I tried to use the "CalculateOnbarClose= true" which reduces the resource usage by some extent, but it is not printing the current bar, until it is finished.

With "CalculateOnbarClose= true", is there anyway to modify/enhance the ninjascript so that the current bar (regular bar,not the HeikenAshi bar) gets displayed on the chart and its color gets updated to become a HeikenAshi bar, after the bar is complete.


I hope the upcoming Ninja 7 Beta,will modify the heikenAshi,so that it doesn't use any drawobjects and just modifies the default bars/candles.

Thanks

Hi SUpport,

Thanks for the link, I already made myself familiar with the performance tips.

Can Josh or any ninjascript programmer please suggest regarding my original question, which is :

With "CalculateOnbarClose= true" in HeikenAshi, is there anyway to modify/enhance the ninjascript so that the current bar (regular bar,not the HeikenAshi bar) gets displayed on the chart and its color gets updated to become a HeikenAshi bar, after the bar is complete.

Is there anyway to modify the chart control settings or the Pen,in the initial part of the HeikenAshi code, so that the current bar is displayed (regular bar) and it becomes a HeikenAshi drawobject after the bar is closed?

Thanks

commodity_trader,

Unfortunately we cannot support this. You would need to play with it yourself. As a hint, you need to mess around with these lines/if-statement wrapping it:

ChartControl.ChartStyle.DownColor    = Color.Transparent; 
ChartControl.ChartStyle.UpColor        = Color.Transparent; 
ChartControl.ChartStyle.Pen            = new Pen(Color.Transparent);

Thanks Josh for the hint. I appreciate it.
