Renko Charts

[pds1922]

Hi,
I am having trouble displaying Renko charts. I can get a bar or a candle chart but no Renko chart appears. Has anyone had this problem?

Hello,

Thank you for your post.

What version of NinjaTrader are you using? You can check under Help -> About (Example: 7.0.1000.X)
Who are you connected to? This is displayed by green on lower left corner of the Control Center window.
What instrument (and expiry if applicable) have you selected?
Do you receive an error on screen? Are there errors on the Log tab of the Control Center? If so, what do these errors report?

Hello Kyle,
Version 7.0.1000.25. Connected to Yahoo. ANZ.AX. No errors. It will however display the ES

Hello,

Thank you for clarifying.

The Yahoo Finance connection which is available to NinjaTrader supports daily data only. Please see the following link to our Help Guide for an overview of the various types of data which each provider offers within NinjaTrader: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...rical_data.htm

I am only interested in EOD data. Does this mean I cannot display EOD data for Australian stocks in Renko bricks?

Hello,

Yahoo Finance provides only daily data in NinjaTrader. Tick data is required to build a renko based chart. Because Yahoo Finance does not offer tick data within NinjaTrader, this data source cannot be used to build renko charts.

Sorry to be a pest but why then does the ES work when I am still connected to Yahoo

Hello,

It is impossible for me to know - perhaps you're looking at data stored within NinjaTrader you've accessed from another source in the past. What I can tell you is that, when it comes to Yahoo Finance, only daily, EOD equity data is supported.
