Hello Vracupie,

Thanks for your post.

You may be able to create what you need without programming by using "Chart Alerts". Chart Alerts provide a condition builder where you can specify the characteristics of the formation and then issue an alert which can be sound, e-mail, or pop-up.

Here is a link to the help guide on Chart Alerts: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...t8/?alerts.htm

The limitation with alerts is that they can only function in realtime (or playback) and cannot be copy/pasted to another chart.

You could create an indicator using Ninjascript which are methods and properties based on C# programming language. if you are not familiar with programming, we can provide you with a reference to 3rd party programmers in the NinjaTrader ecosystem who would be able to meet your needs. If you have some experience with programming and would like to create the indicator yourself, we can provide some help guide references to the methods and properties you would be using.

ok thanks, so i can creat a chart alert with three candles dependent from the first of three?

it also would be great if this alert would be programmed so i can use it for multiple charts,

thanks and best

Hello Vracupie,

Thanks for your reply.

"so i can creat a chart alert with three candles dependent from the first of three?" Yes, you can create multiple conditions that must be true to generate the alert.

As previously mentioned Chart alerts cannot be copied so you would have to recreate as needed on each instrument/chart.

You have two options for creating it as an indicator, either write it yourself or hire a 3rd party. Please note that we do not provide coding or debugging services.

Thank you, i need the alert with high/low/open/close informations of any candle, so its not possible not possible with Chart Alerts?

Hello Vracupie,

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, you can access the OHLC values of the bar.

You can access any bar, the current bar is a bars ago of 0, the previous bar would be 1 the bar before that would be 2 and so on.

I would encourage you to review the links previously provided.

Here is a link to a specific page that demonstrates how to access the bar data in the condition (check the "Price type" selector in the picture): https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...ataComparisons

Okay fine thanks, but i think its not the way cause i have 16 alerts with 10 ohlc inside, and i want it for over 22 differnt times.. There is no other way to copy alert to differnt timeframes?

Hello Vracupie,

Thanks for your reply.

Correct, there is no means to copy chart alerts.

Your alternatives would be:

1) To create an indicator but this would require working directly in Ninjscript which is based on C# programming language.
2) Create the alert in the Strategy Builder which has the same look and feel as the Chart Alerts and does not require programming language knowledge to use. A strategy does have to be enabled at the start of the day. A strategy does not have to place orders. A strategy Builder strategy does offer on-chart visual options for alerts in addition to issuing alerts.A strategy can be applied to any number of charts.
