custom indicator values in Analyzer differ

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Hi Juan, if you for example compare the indicator values directly for the MA vs Chart - let's say for a SMA would those match up as you expect?

If possible, you can email me as well directly under support at ninjatrader dot com and attach the setup that you use, I will then give this a run to compare on our end.

hi

have set the ma to 980 bars lookback default 24/7 session template, my chart displays 10 days in 30 min increments. still doesnt work shows none for some instruments and incorrect entries for others. Cant beleive a simple cross over can be this complicated, any other thoughts?

thanks

Yes, the session template can be set in the MA as well, but not per column but for the full MA, so right click in the MA sheet and set it as needed in it's properties and then recheck. The larger lookback would be needed, it would work from the left most bar to the current one and not the other way - so you would still see current signals on the current most bar being evaluated with CalculateOnBarClose = true.

Hi Bertrand

I cant see a Session template in the column definition section, the indicator is Default 24/7 . Enlarging the lookback period doesnt show the latest signals either which is what i would expect if ninja looks from the last bar backwards which is what i would expect, if you can confirm this is how it works?. attached screenshot from data series for EURUSD. The calculate on bar close is set to false on both. Any further ideas?

many thanks
Juan

Juan, can you please ensure the session templates are identical for the Chart / Market Analyzer and also please try with a higher bars back setting, for the chart you likely have more than 50 bars loaded, yet this is what you do on the MarketAnalyzer.

Also, please check the CalculateOnBarClose setting is the same for chart vs Market Analyzer.

Hi

my custom indicator cross over values either dont show or show incorrectly in analyzer for the same time frame, hope you can help. Image of EURGBP shows the cross overs from indicator and column definition yet no signals in analyzer on the right. the code is simply

the indicator plots correctly on the chart
