Applying alerts to lots of instruments

[spikeruk]

Hello,
I have an indicator that alerts when a data point is reached.
What is the best way to apply that to lots of instruments at once so that I can be alerted based on specific criteria?
Do I have to have the charts open with the indicator assigned or is there a better method?

Thanks

Hello spikeruk,

You can load the indicator in the Market Analyzer using an Indicator column. The Market Analyzer can hold multiple instruments. You can open the Market Analyzer at Control Center-->New-->Market Analyzer. See the link below for information on the Market Analyzer.

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/NT%20HelpGuide%20English.html?market_analyzer.htm

Please right click in the Market Analyzer and select Add Instrument(s) to add the instruments you like. You can add an entire instrument list at once by selecting 'Select all' (at the top of the instrument list).

Right click again and select 'Columns'. Add an Indicator column and select the indicator in question.

Any what if I'm only receiving end of day data?
Can I run this each day and get the indicators to re-apply?, how would I do that?

Yes, you can run this each day. Once you setup the Market Analyzer as you like, please save your workspace. That way, the Market Analyzer will come up automatically when you start NinjaTrader for the day.

Is there a means of having the an alert in the Market Analyzer only trigger when the respective Instrument is in a chart?

I'm fighting the ridiculous setting that alerts are chart-based, not instrument based. I would like an alert that carries from one instrument to the next w/in the same chart. Setting this up in MA seems plausible, however, alerts trigger for all instruments in the MA, regardless if they are active in a chart or not.
