How Count bars and time forward

[fawaz79]

Hi,

I would like to count bars ahead of the current bars(candlesticks). I would also like see the time forward from where the chart is trading - with the crosshair the display of time stops where the chart has the price/candlesticks. With the ruler i can see until where the chart has the candlesticks. Is there a way i can do this?

Thanks
Fawaz

Hello Fawaz,

Unfortunately NinjaTrader does not have an option that will count the bars in the future. I am not sure if I quite understand this inquiry. Could you please clarify what functionality you refer. Do you like to see a number that reflects the amount of bars for a certain period?

You could create a custom indicator that will reflect the amount of bars. Please see the link below for information to create custom indicators.

You can view the future in charts as follows. Please click and hold your left mouse button on the canvas and move to the left. You will now scroll forward in time.
