Second Chart for Multi Instrument

[starcd]

Is it possible to show a second chart of a second instrument in a multi Instrument strategy? With all Entries and Exits as for the main instrument?

Thank's Frank

Hello,

Thank you for the question.

While it is not directly possible to display the secondary series directly in a new panel, you can cause an indicator to plot prices or other values in a second panel.

Using AddChartIndicator you can add a secondary indicator to perform plotting in another panel, we have a strategy example that demonstrates this concept: https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...ead.php?t=6651

Using the dummy indicator, the strategy could tell it to plot things as you need them like markers for executions or plots etc..

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Thank's Jesse!

I tried the sampleStrategyPlot. Can You help me with the syntax of OverlayPlot and PanelPlot. I want them to plot my secondary data series ^NDX.

else if (State == State.Configure)
{

AddDataSeries("^NDX", BarsPeriodType.Day, 1);

OverlayPlot = ???
PanelPlot = ???

Hello,

You could see the following document which explains how to access data in a multi-series script:

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/en-us/index.html?multi-time_frame__instruments.htm#EnteringExitingAndRetrievingPositionInformation

The first example ( Accessing the Price Data in a Multi-Bars NinjaScript) demonstrates the general syntax needed to reference your secondary series.

You could use Closes[1][0] as one option to plot the Close price.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

That works :-)


AddDataSeries("^NDX", BarsPeriodType.Day, 1);

OverlayPlot = new Series<double>(this);
PanelPlot = new Series<double>(this);

//Create an indicator which is set to overlayplot. The indicator will use this strategies references OverlayPlot series to plot.
SampleOverlayPlot sampleOverlayPlot = SampleOverlayPlot();
sampleOverlayPlot.Strategy = this;
AddChartIndicator(sampleOverlayPlot);

//Create an indicator which is set for a panel plot. The indicator will use this strategies references PanelPlot series to plot.
SamplePanelPlot samplePanelPlot = SamplePanelPlot();
samplePanelPlot.Strategy = this;
AddChartIndicator(samplePanelPlot);
}
}

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
//Set your plots here.
OverlayPlot[0] = Closes[1][0];
PanelPlot[0] = Closes[1][0];
}
