Live Ninjatrader Plot

[tradethebonds]

Say I wanted to plot this please;

d110 = (High[0] + Low[0] + Close[0] ) / 3;

but instead of plotting it when the bar closes,

I would like to plot it live, as the bar is plotting, using the live H, L & C?

Is this possible with Ninja trader please?

Hello tradethebonds,

Welcome to the NinjaTrader Support Forums!

Yes, that would be possible. You may change the CalculateOnBarClose to false, that that way your NinjaScript is going to be processed on each incoming live tick of data.

You may see the following link to our Help Guide for more information about the CalculateOnBarClose.

Happy to be of further assistance.

Thank you for your reply, it is appreciated.

I cannot seem to determine how to implement this live plot, can you help please?

================================================

protected override void Initialize()
{
Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.DarkBlue), PlotStyle.Line, "oneone"));
AutoScale = false;
Overlay = false;
}

// FormatPriceMarker method of a custom indicator
public override string FormatPriceMarker(double price)
{

// Formats price values to 1 decimal places
return price.ToString("N1");
}

/// <summary>
/// Called on each bar update event (incoming tick)
/// </summary>
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
// Use this method for calculating your indicator values. Assign a value to each
// plot below by replacing 'Close[0]' with your own formula.


if (Bars == null)
return;

d110 = (High[0] + Low[0] + Close[0] ) / 3;

The fine, free manual is a very nice resource for language syntax.

protected override void Initialize()
        {
            Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.DarkBlue), PlotStyle.Line, "oneone"));
            AutoScale            = false;
            Overlay                = false;
        }

Inside of your Initialize() you may set the "CalculateOnBarClose = false;".

The only thing that you have to be aware of is that you can change this property inside of the Parameters section of the Script when you apply it to a chart and it will override what ever is set programmatically.

In which case you need:

 
CalculateOnBarClose = true;
d110 = (High[1] + Low[1] + Close[1] ) / 3;

If you want to force COBC to true, you can place the COBC directive in OnStartUp(), or OnBarUpdate(): if you want it to be configurable, place the COBC directive in Initialize().
