Different timeframes in 1 panel

[chaotixnl]

Hi everyone,

Quick question, with possibly an easy answer, but here goes anyways. I am still getting the hang of ninjatrader desktop, and i was wondering, is there a way to overlay 2 timeframes of the same instrument, for example the 1 minute and 15 minute timeframes, so that the 1 minute candles fit in to the 15 minute candles. Possibly make the 15 minute candles move to the background, or be a bit more transparent? Hope my question is clear enough, if not, i would be happy to try and explain better.

greetings,

Hello chaotixnl,

Yes, you would apply 2 data series in 1 chart - 1 Minute and 15 Minute. Please see the link below for information when using multiple data series in 1 chart.

https://support.ninjatrader.com/s/

Click Desktop Help Guides-->Operations-->Charts-->Working with Multiple Data series

Set the 'Panel' setting for both data series the same, so they plot in the same panel.

There is no opacity setting for price bars, but you can select the colors you like in the Data Series menu.

You can determine if price bars, indicators and other chart objects are drawn on top or behind each other using the Z-order. Please click a chart object once so it is selected (you will see small circles on the object). Hold the Shift key on your keyboard and scroll your mouse wheel. This will change the Z-order of the object so you can plot it as you like. More information can be found under Operations-->Charts-->Working with Objects on Charts-->How to change the z-order (paint order) of a chart object.
