Keltner channel in Ninja trader showing different prices vs TOS keltner

[DayTradingDEMON]

Running a keltner in TOS and it looks like the Keltner in Ninja Trader is not accurate. Off by about 20 points. You are also allowed to select moving average type (I want exponential) and ATR type (I want wilders0. Any help or assistance would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Hello DayTradingDEMON,

Welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!

As your post is not related to development (programming NinjaScripts in C#) I have moved your thread from the NinjaTrader Desktop > Indicator Development section of the forums to the NinjaTrader Desktop > Platform Technical Support section of the forums.

If you are asking for direction in developing your own custom indicator, please let me know and I will move the thread back to the Indicator Development section.

Unfortunately, we would not be able to provide insight on why other platforms are calculating indicators differently.

However, you are welcome to look at the code of this open source indicator in the NinjaScript Editor.

The KeltnerChannel provided by NinjaTrader uses the SMA as the moving average type. You could create a copy of this indicator and modify the code to allow the moving average type to be chosen.
This reference sample from the help guide provides an example of making a moving average type selector.

The KeltnerChannel provided by NinjaTrader does not use an ATR calculation.

You can also contact a professional NinjaScript Consultant who would be eager to create or modify this script at your request or assist you with your script. The NinjaTrader Ecosystem has affiliate contacts who provide educational as well as consulting services. Please let me know if you would like a list of affiliate consultants who would be happy to create this script or any others at your request or provide one on one educational services.

Thank you so much, Chelsea. May I get a list of both? Just recommended for both affiliate consultants and educational. I am working on learning C# at the moment too.
