MTF Indicator on same chart

[GibbsB613]

How do I plot a 200 SMA for the H4 and H1 on an H1 chart?

A good approximation would be SMA(800) since you need 800 1-hour bars to get 200 4-hour bars.

Hello GibbsB613,

It is possible to add an SMA to a chart using a different input series.
Below is a link to demonstrate this for NT7. The process for NT8 is the same.

To confirm, as your post is in the indicator developement section, you are wanting to plot these values using a custom indicator with an added dataseries, is this correct?

This is possible to do.
To add a secondary series use AddDataSeries().

Add a plot using AddPlot().

Call the moving average indicator using Closes[1] (BarsInProgress 1 is the secondary series) as the input series.
Closes - http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...-us/closes.htm
BarsInProgress - http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...inprogress.htm
SMA - http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...simple_sma.htm

Set the Value of the plot to the value returned by the SMA using the secondary series.

I'm actually just trying to add it to the chart like you would add any normal MA. I just want to see how the MA is plotting on a higher timeframe without having to switch to a different chart.
