How to add displacement in AddPlot() in NinjaTrade 8

[Richard168]

Hello,

I could not find any reference in "How to do Displacement in AddPlot()" in NinjaTrade 8.

In NinjaTrader 7, this is what I code:

Add( new Plot( new Pen(Color.Red, 1), "MA1" ));
Displacement = 26; // Move MA1 forward by 26 bars

Can someone please help me to convert the above code to NinjaTrader 8?

Thanks,

Richard

Hello Richard,

The Displacement property is the same in NinjaTrader 8.

Are you receiving an error with this?

(Please note, changes to properties require that you remove and re-add the instance of the script from the chart)

Thanks for the reply.

I tried that and it works.

However, is there a way to selectively specify displacement for some MAs and no displacement for other MAs within the same script?

Hello Richard168,

No, the displacement will apply to the indicator not the plot.

Separate the plots into separate indicators.

Hard Time

I have been trying to develop an 11SMA (high,Low,Close) indicator with a displacement of 6 can someone help. I was able to do it as a strategy but not as an indicator and I am not skilled at this. Thanks

Hello wealthcig,

In the Indicators OnStateChange method when State is State.SetDefaults add Displacement = 6;.

Then remove the instance of the indicator and add a new instance of the indicator to the chart.

Below is a public link to the help guide on Displacement.

Unfortunately, Displacement cannot be used with Strategies and only works with Indicators.

What about the High,Low Close

Then remove the instance of the indicator and add a new instance of the indicator to the chart.

Hello wealthcig,

Your previous inquiry is how to use the Displacement property to render a plot a set number of bars forward or back in relation to the bars on the chart.

What are you asking about the High, Low, and Close?

To remove and re-add an instance right-click the chart > select the active instance of the indicator in the Configured list > click the remove button. In the Available list select the original indicator > click the add button below in the Configured area to add a new instance.

Below is a short video that demonstrates removing an instance of the ADL indicator and adding a new instance of the ADL indicator to a chart.
