ChartPattern doesn't work

[zaico]

I just upgrade to N8 and I realized ChartPattern Indicator isn't working right. Rising three method doesn't find all the patterns. And the ones it find are not. Any clue?

Hello zaico, and thank you for your report. So that we may see the same thing on our end that you are seeing on yours, could you let us know

• Which data feed provider you are using
• What instrument (and expiry if applicable) you are trading
• What interval or bars type with what value are you using? For example, 7-brick Renko, 1 minute, etc
• At what date and time do you see results in NinjaTrader 7 that you are not seeing in NinjaTrader 8
• At this time, what are the expected values in NinjaTrader 7
• Can you send a picture of your configuration settings in NT7 and NT8?

To send a screenshot with Windows 7 or newer I would recommend using Window's Snipping Tool.

Alternatively to send a screenshot press Alt + PRINT SCREEN to take a screenshot of the selected window. Then go to Start--> Accessories--> Paint, and press CTRL + V to paste the image. Lastly, save as a jpeg file and send the file as an attachment.

I will be investigating this indicator on my end in the meantime.

Hello zaico,

I have done some additional investigation. I was unable to find a built-in indicator called ChartPattern. The CandleStickPattern indicator I believe we are referring to, http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...hart%2Bpattern , however, does contain a RisingThreeMethods.

I have found an objective definition of Rising Three Methods at the publicly available website Investopedia :

DEFINITION of 'Rising Three Methods'

A bullish candlestick pattern that is used to predict the continuation of the current uptrend. This pattern is formed when the candlesticks meet the following characteristics:

1. The first candle in the pattern is a long white candlestick within a defined uptrend.
2. A series of descending small-bodied candlesticks that trade within the range of the first candlestick.
3. A long white candlestick creates a new high, which suggests that bullish are back in control of the direction.

I will return after testing this on our end.
