Enable all time settings in pivot indicator?

[johntraderuser2]

Right now only settings available for ninja (which seems to be the case on those I tried) are enabled which are day, week and month. Would it be hard to make it work in all time settings? I managed to download the indicator so I have it in a zip file. Or could someone here possibly enable all times settings on it?
It's working on all time settings in tradingview for instance.

Hello johntraderuser2,

Thank you for your post and welcome to the NinjaTrader forum community!

It is correct that the Pivots indicator that comes with NinjaTrader only has pivot range type options of daily, weekly, or monthly as described here:

You may be able to find a publicly available pivots indicator with the desired settings on our NinjaTrader Ecosystem website:

Here is a basic guideline of how to import NinjaScript add-ons in NinjaTrader 8:

Note — To import NinjaScripts you will need the original .zip file.

To Import:

1. Download the NinjaScripts to your desktop, keep them in the compressed .zip file.
2. From the Control Center window select the menu Tools > Import > NinjaScript Add-on...
3. Select the downloaded .zip file
4. NinjaTrader will then confirm if the import has been successful.

Critical - Specifically for some NinjaScripts, it will prompt that you are running newer versions of @SMA, @EMA, etc. and ask if you want to replace, press 'No'

Once installed, you may add the indicator to a chart by:

• Right-click your chart > Indicators... > Select the Indicator from the 'Available' list on the left > Add > OK

Here is a short video demonstration of the import process:

• Install a 3rd Party Indicator or App

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Thanks for response. How can we modify the timesettings to enable other settings than the default ones?

Hello johntraderuser2,

Thank you for your reply.

The source code for the Pivots indicator is available in the NinjaScript Editor. You may create a copy of this script and edit it as desired to add logic for other pivot range types. To copy this script:

• Go to Control Center > New > NinjaScript Editor
• Double-click on the "Indicators" folder to expand the indicators
• Double-click on Pivots to open the Pivots script
• Right-click in the background of the window and select Save As
• Give your new copy a name
• Now your copied script will be open in a new NinjaScript Editor tab

There is a property on the UI for PivotRangeType that is a selection of one of the PivotRange enum options. You could add additional options for different times that you'd like as pivot ranges and then add the logic needed for these different time selections. For another example of using an enum for a UI property selection, please see the following reference sample:
