Charting Historics?

[timmbbo]

How do I chart historics? Say I want to view the S&P 500 from April 6 to April 10th, 2015, with 30 minute candles, in a single window. How can I accomplish this?

Thanks again.

Hello timmbbo,

Thanks for your post.

Right click on your chart and select Data Series
Under Load Data Based On select Custom Range
Put in the desired Start Date and End Date
Select OK

Thank you - very helpful. For some reason, on the Data Series window, under the Data subcategory, the End Date selector is grayed out - I can not set it. I can set the start date, but not the end date. Your thoughts?

Thanks, again.

Also, I'd like to append one more question - how do I get a certain number of days contained in a window, without scrolling?

For instance, I'd like to view 5 days of market activity, in one window, without scrolling. This allows me to more easily view the larger trend over days.

Thanks

Hello timmbbo,

Thanks for your reply.

To set the date range and change the End Date please ensure to first select Custom Range under Load Data Based On

To adjust how many days of bars show at once you can compress the horizontal range.
Below I have provided a link to the 'How to change the horizontal scale and range of a chart' section of the help guide.http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...ng_a_chart.htm
