Available data chart type

[HiddenPhilosopher]

When I dig into the Strategies, I found that "Heiken Ashi", "Kagi", and "Renko" chart type are available to choose in strategy properties. But when I look at the chart tool, these types do not show up for choosing chart type. Are they available in the chart, and how can I find them?

Thank you!

The chart bar types you've listed are available for charting. Are you referring to creating a new chart via the Control Center's 'New' menu? If not, could you elaborate further where in NinjaTrader specifically you're not seeing those chart types as available?

What version of NinjaTrader 8 are you using? Please provide the entire version number. This can be found under Help -> About (Example: 8.0.?.?)

Yes, I'm referring to creating the new chart. I'm using NinjaTrader 8.

Thanks for the screenshot. I was looking in the wrong place. I got it.

Patrick, the default bar size for the Renko Chart is 3. I've been using that default, so I understand on my usual timeframe that is 3 ticks. What if I wanted to do a Renko Chart for hourly or daily level information? I understand that Renko charts do not use time parameters, so what size bar would you suggest for hourly or daily data, or is it even feasible to do?

This is not a feasible question as the whole point of a Renko bar is that it is specifically not based on time. There is no way to predict future price movement so this would be fairly impossible to accomplish with any accuracy.
