Order Entry at specific level

[arroganzmaschine]

Hello arroganzmaschine,

Thanks for the clarification.

I see that you are charting the FGBL 06-14. This instrument is not set to rollover in NinjaTrader until March 7th. Charting this instrument before the rollover with NinjaTrader's default merge policy will result in al lhistorical data being from the 03-14 contract and a large spike from the difference in price.

If you want to only view data for the selected contract you will need to go to Tools> Options> Data
Under MergePolicy select DoNotMerge

Below I have provided a link to the Understanding merge policies section of our help guide.

The other option would be that you can modify when the instrument rolls over.
Below I have provided a link to our NinjaTrader 7 Tips - Adjust & Customize Roll Over Dates YouTube video.

Thank you! That looks ok right now. I will write, if there are any further issues. Many thanks to fast support.

Dear community,

how can I draw horizontal lines on every 100-level with an indicator. For example, I want a horizontal line on 9400, 9500, and 9600 in the FDAX and that for every 100 level. How can I draw these lines with an indicator?

Thanks in advance.

Hello arroganzmaschine,

Thanks for your post.

To do this you would need to use DrawHorizontalLine() and use a variable for the Y value.
You would then need to define the variable with a looping Command

Hello arroganzmaschine,

DrawHorizontalLine() http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...zontalline.htm

I started writing this indicator. It has no properties, just this logic:

DrawHorizontalLine("tag" + yVar, yVar, Color.AntiqueWhite);

Now I want to have three parameters. One is the thickness, one is the color and one is the DashStyle of the line.

I tried to insert this code into the indicator:

        #region Variables
        // Wizard generated variables
            private Color userColor = Color.Coral;
            private DashStyle userStyle = DashStyle.Solid;
            private int lineWidth = 2;
            
        // User defined variables (add any user defined variables below)
        #endregion

That also works. But when I try to define the parameters region like this:

        #region Properties
        public int lineWidth
        {
            get { return lineWidth; }
            set { this.lineWidth = value; }
        }
        #endregion

it doesn't work and the compiler says, that lineWidth is already defined in my Indicator. But I haven't done anything. So how can I set properties manually to my indicator like the ones I defined "private"?

Thanks in advance.

Do you have any ideas?

Hi arroganzmaschine,

The lineWidth has already been declared in #region Variables.

If you would like a public variable that returns the private variable, then you need a unique name.

Typically I just use a capital letter to begin a public variable and a lower case letter for the private variable.

For example:
[Description("Width of line")]
[Category("Parameters")]
public int LineWidth
{
get { return lineWidth; }
set { this.lineWidth = value; }
}

Thank you. That solved my Problem.

Is it possible to give an alert if the price is five Ticks near a horizontal line?

[NinjaTrader_CalH]

Arroganzmaschine,

You want to test when the price is near the horizontal line as such -

if(Close[0] > horizontallineprice - 5 * TickSize && Close[0] < horizontallineprice + 5 * TickSize && Close[0] != horizontalprice)
{
     //do something
}

And how can I get all horizontal Lines i draw with the price?

Hello arroganzmaschine,

And how can I get all horizontal Lines i draw with the price?

Below is some unsupported code to print horizontal line y-axis values.

foreach(IDrawObject draw in DrawObjects)
{
if (draw.DrawType == DrawType.HorizontalLine)
{
IHorizontalLine hLine;
hLine = (IHorizontalLine) draw;
if (hLine == null)
return;

Print(hLine.Y);
}
}

Hey Chelsea,

I need something new for NinjaTrader.
I attached a picture here. Do you know this? Or can you help me where I can find such indicator?

Hello,

While I'm not sure what is in this screenshot, there is a divergence indicator that has a histogram on our forums.

This is the D3SpotterV3 indicator.

That looks quite good. But I think the one in my screenshot seems to be an oscillator or something else. Do you have anymore suggestions?

Thank you so far!

Hi Max,

I've asked around here at the office but we are not recognizing this indicator. You may have more luck asking the person who posted this image which indicator is being used.

It's something like an oscillator, but I also don't know the source.

Thank you very much.
