MACD and IDataSeries

[ArmKnuckle]

I am new to NinjaTrader and I have questions about time periods when programing for the MACD.

How would I create the code that two different time periods "IDataSeries" in a calculation? For example:


3 min - MACD (12, 26, 9), 1 bar ago > 15 min - MACD (12, 26, 9), 1 bar ago


Is this possible in the Strategy Wizard? If not, how would I correctly code it for use in backtesting and automated trading?

Thanks!

Hello ArmKnuckle,

Thank you for your inquiry and welcome to the NinjaTrader Support Forum!

It is not possible to add additional DataSeries through the Strategy Wizard.

I would suggest reading this entry in the NinjaTrader help guide for more information about working with multi-time frame & instruments: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...nstruments.htm

The most relevant sections to read over would be "Adding Additional Bars Object to NinjaScript" and "Using Bars Objects as Input to Indicator Methods".

The help guide also has an Educational Resources section that contain valuable resources for learning basic through intermediate skills in building custom indicators and strategies within NinjaTrader: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG..._resources.htm

The Reference Samples section of our support forum also provides valuable samples of code as well: http://ninjatrader.com/support/forum...ead.php?t=3220

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
