Changing chart timeframe.

[blekdzhon]

Hello. Is there a way to change timeframe of chart via code?

Hello blekdzhon,

Thanks for opening the thread.

It is possible to load a separate data series and use the data series for calculation, but it is not possible to dynamically load a new data series or change the primary data series (the bar type, period, and time frame.)

We are tracking interest in dynamically loaded data series', but as this is more in reference to changing the primary data series, I will submit a separate feature request on your behalf. I'll update this post with the feature request ticket ID when I receive it.

EDIT: This feature is being tracked with the Dynamically added additional data series feature request. The ticket ID is SFT-882 and can be noted in the release notes pages of the help guide for the version of NinjaTrader 8 that includes that feature's implementation.

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

Hello. Is there a way to change timeframe of chart via code?

Is there a way to access the timeframe of a chart via code so I have multiple charts running and for example have a signal on a 50 tick chart or 100 tick chart and want to send an alert to the alerts window along the lines of 'FDAX 50 tick chart signal A detected', 'FDAX 100 tick chart signal B detected'?

Hello mballagan,

Yes, you can check BarsPeriod and Instrument.MasterInstrument (for BarsInProgess 0 for multi series NinjaScripts) to get information about the data series that the NinjaScript is attached to.

Alerts can be sent with the Alert() method.

Here are links to openly available documentation on the items discussed.
