Hello peterhxu7,

Thanks for your post.

To access a 5 minute indicator from your 1 minute chart, you would need to add a 5 minute data series to your strategy using the Add() method, please see: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...e.htm?add3.htm The helpguide provides an example of adding a 5 minute series.

When adding data series to a strategy you are then creating a multi time frame strategy which will require an understanding of how bars are referenced, this is discussed in progressive detail here: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...nstruments.htm Understanding this section will help you with your strategy.

For the condition, "if high of the current bar in 1 minute chart is the highest of the previous 5 bars" you could use the MAX()method to check for the High series of the previous 5 bars, so the condition would look like: if (Highs[0][0] > MAX(Highs[0], 5)[1]) where Highs[0[0] refers to the current bar high of the 1 minute series, Highs[0] refers to the high data series of the 1 minute bars, 5 refers to 5 bars and [1] refers to the prior 5 bars (so that it does not include the current High otherwise the comparison would never be true).

For the condition, "one of which's high is higher than the last downfractal in 5 minutes chart", I cannot advise as I do not know what or how you define a downfractal as.

hi paul:
Thanks for your quick response. the fractal indicator was created by Dr bill william. There is downfractal and upfractal. The downfractal means resistant, the upfractal means support.

Hello peterhxu7,

Thanks for your post.

I took a quick look at the indicator bwFractals (available in the download section for NT7) and the indicator does not provide an output you can use in a strategy.

Hello peterhxu7,

Thanks for your reply.

Just to be clear, in the support department at NinjaTrader we do not create, debug, or modify code for our clients. This is so that we can maintain a high level of service for all of our clients.

It looks like you would need to modify the indicator to provide a signal the strategy could use. If you would like to tackle that we can provide references to learning Ninjascript/C#.

If you would like that modified/created for you, we can provide references to 3rd party ninjascript coders.
