Hi,

How can we make Heiken Ashi bars be available in the chart dropdown options? It is not there by default it looks like.

Hello Greg,

Thank you for your post.

I am not exactly sure which options you mean when you say "chart dropdown options." Which dropdown menu are you referring to? If possible, please provide a screenshot.

• To send a screenshot with Windows 10 or newer I would recommend using the Windows Snipping Tool.
  • Click here for instructions
• 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 it as a jpeg file and send the file as an attachment.
  • Click here for detailed instruction

I look forward to the clarification.

NinjaTrader_Emily See here https://www.screencast.com/t/2oEsUeU8xCve On the Chart it is the "Chart Style" icon...there is no Heiken Ashi, Three Line Break or other chart types I would typically expect to be available. There are some but not all I would expect. If not by default, how can I get them to appear as options to select Heiken Ashi style on the chart?

Hello birdog,

Thank you for the clarification.

Since this topic does not pertain to NinjaScript strategy development, I have moved the thread to the Technical Support section of the forums.

You are correct that Heiken Ashi is not a default option in the interval selector; you may add/remove intervals as desired as described in the help guide here:

We also have a video about the interval selector here:

You may add Heiken Ashi with the following steps:

• Open the interval selector dropdown menu
• Select "configure" in the bottom-right corner
• Under the list of intervals, click "add"
• Select Heiken Ashi then click OK
• The Values list on the right will default to show 1. Click "add" to add a new value, then click OK. Repeat this step to add the desired values
• Once all of the desired values have been added, click OK to close the Configure menu and save your changes

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance.

NinjaTrader_Emily This is working great https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...15#post1232015 I do have a question though. I see I can make Heiken Ashi 1 min but how do I make it show on the chart in seconds or higher time frames as well?

Update...nevermind...I think I found it.
