Skip / Jump / Shift in Chart

[pepino3131]

Hello, is here any way to jump on bar with specific Index and have it on the right side of the chart?

Something like:

protected override void Initialize() {
 gotoBar(500); //Initialize chart on bar 500 - I will not use fixed numbers of course
}

Thanks!

Hi pepino3131, first of all welcome to our forums here - that's unfortunately not possible as you could not control the chart setup / loading via NinjaScript. For your calculations you could start the OnBarUpdate() on a specific bar with CurrentBar - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...currentbar.htm

Thank you Bertrand for quick response. Maybe it would help, if I describe purpose of my question.
I want to make an indicator which will help me with discretionary backtest. I have hundrets of mechanical patterns in time but I want to filter them so I want to skip quickly from pattern to pattern using shortcuts and don´t see right side of chart. Sure I could go throught the chart bar by bar but it would be very time consuming. With this indicator I woulud be able to notice quicky GOOD signal / WRONG signal and skip to the next one. Everything is ready (pattern recognition, bar index, key press detection) except scrolling. Thanks again.

You're welcome - unfortunately I would not a pointer on how do that from inside the code, however for quick chart scrolling you could for example try the page up / dn buttons, or holding the Ctrl key pressed while scrolling with your mouse wheel.
