How To Make Old Bars Disappear?

[oldporkchops]

Hi there,

I'd like to ask if anyone knows of an indicator (native NT 8 or third party) or setting within NT 8 that can make old time series bars disappear? By this I mean I would only like to keep the most recent X number of bars displayed on my chart at any one time.

Described another way, as bars plot, I would only like to keep the most recent X number of bars plotted, and as time progresses, only X number of bars should only appear plotted on my chart at any given time.

Does anyone know of a setting or an indicator that can do just this?

Thank you in advance for your help.

It's based on days, I don't think you can do it based on bars

Hello oldporkchops,

Thank you for your post.

Unfortunately no, there is no setting in NinjaTrader 8 that would allow you to limit the number of bars displayed on the chart. The amount of historical bars on your chart is restricted to how many days you have specified in the 'Days To Load' Data Series setting. The amount of real-time bars displayed on the chart isn't restricted, since it isn't typical that someone would want real-time data removed from the chart.

I am also not aware of any third party indicator that accomplishes this.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.
