OrderFlow indicator does not populate fully when

[WHICKED]

Why does the OrderFlow Delta indicator provided by NinjaTrader not populate fully when using Bars as the data to load type? but will when you use days?

Hello WHICKED,

Thanks for your question.

This is because Order Flow Cumulative Delta is a Multi Time Frame indicator that adds a single tick data series, which is used for volume analysis.

When Bas To Load is used, this is also telling the script to load that number of ticks instead of ticks for the entire data series.

We would recommend using Days To Load with Order Flow indicators and similar.

Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

Can you confirm with your developers that what you are saying is accurate. That if you are switching to Bars to Load and loading say 500 bars that it will load the same in ticks?

Hello WHICKED,

This detail has come up several times in our internal documentation since 2016. The information is accurate.
