Show Merge Policy Indicator?

[Steve R]

I took a quick look and could not find it, but back in NT7 which i have been using until today, I had an indicator called "Show Merge Policy" that would show the merge policy in a text box in the right upper corner of a chart, AND it also drew vertical lines on the day bar where merge's occurred between futures contracts AS WELL as the date of the roll (Merge Non-back adjust) OR date and roll (+,-) if the chart set as Merge Back Adjust.

Has anyone re-coded this thing for NT8 because i sure as hell cannot.

Hello Steve R,

Thank you for your post.

I am not aware of such a conversion. Was this an indicator you found on the NinjaTrader Support Forum? If so, do you have a link to this file? Can you attach the NT 7 file you have to your response?

I look forward to your response.

Hello Steve R,

Thank you for your response.

We have a NinjaTrader 8 version at the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...d=7&linkid=905

Please let me know if you have any questions.

[Steve R]

that's not at all like the old one. Same name, totally different info on the chart.

see attached for NT7 version.


btw i guess i should have named the thread more appropriately but the two are similar in nature and it wasn't until i saw the name that i realized it should have been rollover and not show merge policy, which is similar problem that we can ignore for now.

Hello Steve R,

Thank you for your response.

You are referring to the NinjaTrader 7 RolloverIndications as seen at the following link, correct?

I look forward to your response.

[Steve R]

yep that's it.

note vertical lines where all contracts roll from-to as well as the roll costs when the chart is set to mergebackadjust or just the vertical line with date when it is non-back adjusted.

Brett no longer works @ NT?

Hello Steve R,

Thank you for your response.

Right click in the NinjaTrader 8 chart > select Indicators > select the Rollover Indications > disable the option 'Hide button until roll date' > OK.

Brett is still part of NinjaTrader Platform but he is not on the Support team nor is he in a customer facing role.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

[Steve R]

that's not it man.

i know about how NT8 version works and look because i had installed it.

you just have to read what i wrote and even better, go look @ the NT7 version to see the differences.

I wrote to you the details on how they differ, for a reason.

note vertical lines where all contracts roll from-to as well as the roll costs when the chart is set to mergebackadjust or just the vertical line with date when it is non-back adjusted.

Hello Steve R,

Thank you for your response.

We will have the Scripting Support Team correct and upload the item.

[Steve R]

Thanks Patrick, and in the team's defense, there's no error in the NT8 version, it's just quite different. I wouldn't call that an error on anyone's part.

Thanks again.

Hello Steve R,

I've updated the RolloverIndicators indicator for NinjaTrader 8 to include the vertical line at the roll dates.
