Multiple time-frames on chart and horizontal lines on indicator

[gogetit]

Hi,
I have couple of questions regarding multiple time-frames when using a strategy.

Assume I have the following code:

        protected override void Initialize()
        {

            CalculateOnBarClose = true;
            
            Add(PeriodType.Minute, 60); //adding 60 minutes poriod

            Add(SMA(50));  //adding SMA to the chart
            Add(ADX(5));  //adding ADX to the chart
        }

1. Can I add the SMA to the chart, based on the 60 minutes period, regardless of the timeframe selected on the chart [usually 10 minutes]?
2. When I add the ADX, I see 2 horizontal lines add automatically to it on levels 25 & 75. Can I change those levels? Can I add more than 2 lines? [let's say 10,20,80,90]

Thanks.

gogetit,

1. You could do this by calling a MulitSeries indicator in the strategy, where you calculate the SMA needed always on the desired timeframe.

2. To customize lines from indicators, please see the last section of this tip - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ead.php?t=3228

Have a good weekend,

Can you please tell me why I can't see any difference on my chart? what's wrong with the following code?

        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            CalculateOnBarClose = true;
            
            Add(PeriodType.Minute, 60);
        }


        protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
            double sma=SMA(BarsArray[1],100)[0];
            if(Close[0]<sma){
                DrawDot(Bars[0]+"sma",false,0,High[0]+TickSize*10,Color.Green);
            }else{
                DrawDot(Bars[0]+"sma",false,0,Low[0]-TickSize*10,Color.Red);
            }
        }

Hi gogetit,

One thing you're missing is checking update context with BarsInProgress.

That means when you use Close[0] it could refer to updates to any series. To exclude everything but the primary, write at the top of OnBarUpdate():
if (BarsInProgress != 0) return;
