RTH High Low Open and GLOBEX High Low Open

[AdeptistJune]

I'm using a 24 * 7 trading hour chart. I would like create high, low, open levels for globex, and high, low, open levels for the RTH. How can I do so? Thanks.

Hello AdeptistJune,

You can add a data series using a different TradingHours template.

AddDataSeries(string instrumentName, BarsPeriod barsPeriod, string tradingHoursName)

You can use variables to track the highest high or lowest low. Below is a link to an example.

Hello,

I wrote the adddataseries like this: AddDataSeries("ES 03-22", new BarsPeriod {BarsPeriodType = BarsPeriodType.Tick, Value = 100}, "Overnight");

The script only works when I add it to a 100 tick chart. Is there a way I can write the script so that it will plot on any chart I add the script to?

Thanks.

Hello AdeptistJune,

The added series is a 100 tick series, but I would expect this to work with any primary bar type.

Are you printing the Time[0] and BarsInProgress to the script and finding that BarsInProgress 1 is not updating OnBarUpdate()? (Is this print at the top of OnBarUpdate and not within a condtiion?)

May I have the output from the prints saved to a text file so that I may take a look?

[AdeptistJune]

I think I did it correctly.

[NinjaTrader_ChelseaB]

Hello AdeptistJune,

The BarsInProgress is not printed so we would not be able to tell which series the time stamps are for.

Try:

Print(string.Format("{0} | BarsInProgress: {1}", Time[0], BarsInProgress));

Hello AdeptistJune,

This output is showing BarsInProgress 1 but is not showing BarsInProgress 0.
12/13/2021 8:29:58 AM | BarsInProgress: 1

Have you put the print at the top of OnBarUpdate? Is the print in a condition?
What is the primary series of the chart?

[AdeptistJune]

If it's not too much trouble, can I just send you the code? I don't think I'm doing this properly. Thanks.

Once exported, please attach the file as an attachment to your reply.

(You could also create a test script with only the AddDataSeries() and print if you want to keep the other code private)

Here is the script. Thanks so much for helping.

Hello AdeptistJune,

You are only seeing prints for BarsInProgress 1 because you have the print in a condition that requires BarsInProgress to be 1. Line 66. Remove this condition and it will print for all BarsInProgress.

Hello, Chris,

I can't get the code to work on anything other than a 100 tick chart. Am I suppose to take out the the BarsInProgress or keep it? Thanks.

[NinjaTrader_ChelseaB]

Hello AdeptistJune,

If the code is in a condition to only process when BarsInProgress is 1, then the code will only be run when BarsInProgress is 1. The primary series is BarsInProgress 0 which will never run, because of the condition you put the code in. This is why in post #4 and post #8 I have asked that the code is not in a condtion and at the top of OnBarUpdate().

Have a look at this video where I remove the condition.
