candle stick start time and end time

[coffeedan]

if I use a 10 minutes interval , and a candle stick is "11:00 am". Is the start time of the candle stick 11:00:00 am , and the end time is 11:10:00 am ?

Hi coffeedan,

Thank you for your post.

The time shown for a bar is the close time so if you look at a chart and see an 11:00 bar it will represent the time from 10:50 to 11:00.

Thanks for your reply.

If I need calculated the Open , High, Low , Close of a 10 minutes interval, but my incoming data from onBarUpdate() are 1 minutes ( BarPeriod is 1 minute) , how do I simulate 10 minutes OHLC and indicators base on 1 mintues OHLC and indicators ?

Suppose I have an List of consecutive 10 Open, High , Low , Close and RSI . Each are obtained at 1 minute apart in the onBarUpdate() .

coffeedan,

In NinjaTrader 6.5 you can not calculate indicators based on a different interval than the chart.

However, with NinjaTrader 7 it is possible to calculate based on a 1 minute value if you use that as your input series. The main thing is that you would have to download and install NinjaTrader 7 if you haven't already done so to get that type of differing time-frame for your indicators versus the chart interval.

To download NinjaTrader 7 please refer to the following link.

Do I use the IDataSeries ? I am very new to this.

coffeedan,

You would add a second Data Series to the chart for the second interval, and then in the Indicators menu you would modify the input series of your indicators to be the chart's second data series.
