delta comulative and vpoc IN STRATEGY BUILDER

[NinjaTrader_Kate]

Hello The Humble Mentor,

Thank you for your note.

It is not possible to add the Order Flow Cumulative Delta to the list of usable indicators in the Strategy Builder. In order to use this in a script, the code must be unlocked and logic necessary to use the Cumulative Delta, as well as any logic referencing it, added to the code in the NinjaScript Editor window.

I've created a very simple strategy using the logic found on this page of our help guide:

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/order_flow_cumulative_delta2.htm

You can import the attached indicator and look at it in the NinjaScript Editor after importing to understand where the logic should go. You can apply this to the chart and view the values it prints in a NinjaScript Output window.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.

Hello MarianoVenditti,

Thank you for your post.

The built in Order Flow Cumulative Delta and Order Flow Volume Profile indicators are not accessible from the Strategy Builder; however, the Order Flow Cumulative Delta may be utilized in a manually coded NinjaScript. Order Flow Volume Profile is not accessible from NinjaScript.

Here are links to our NinjaScript documentation for Order Flow Cumulative Delta:

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/order_flow_cumulative_delta2.htm

I have added a vote for you to a current feature request to allow the use of Order Flow + items in the Strategy Builder as well as a current feature request to allow programmatic access to the Order Flow Volume Profile indicator. These requests are being tracked under the numbers SFT-4377 and SFT-3402 respectively.

As with all feature requests, interest is tracked before implementation is considered, so we cannot offer an ETA or promise of fulfillment. If implemented, it will be noted in the Release Notes page of the Help Guide.

Hi Kate,

Thanks for this. I am trying to add cumulative delta to my list of indicators to choose from in strategy builder using manual code. That being said, I am not too sure where to begin based on the link you included. I copy and pasted the code into the ninjascript but it got all types of error messages. Are you able to show an example of the code in ninjascript?

Kate,
Please add me to the SFT-4377 and SFT-340 lists as well. For non-programmers, the purpose of Strategy Builder is defeated when a platform tool cannot be used. Some applications of negative values in Strategy Builder are a problem as well.
Thank you.

Hello butt_toast,

Thank you for your reply.

Here's information from our help guide with examples of using the Order Flow + VWAP and Cumulative Delta indicators:

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/order_flow_vwap2.htm

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/order_flow_cumulative_delta2.htm

I would recommend setting up most of your logic/inputs/variables with the builder, then when you've done everything you can without the Cumulative Delta or VWAP, unlock the code and add the logic for those.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.

Hello butt_toast,

Thank you for your reply.

I've added a vote for you to SFT-4377 as well.

I would point out that the Order Flow + VWAP and Cumulative Delta indicators are accessible via manually coded NinjaScript, they're just not available in the Strategy Builder. If you unlock your code you could manually add the necessary logic.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.

Wow thank you.

I'm familiar with the language of a couple of other platforms, so I may be able to do this.

Where would you recommend I look to learn what would need to happen to the code in order to get it to work?

Thanks, that explains it.

The computer I'm using now was the one I checked the version of, whereas the issue I was having was on my laptop (which has an older version).

That's a real shame that the OF tools can't be tested, can you add my vote to the request to have that fixed? As a full time trader I exclusively use OF tools, and now knowing that NT can't handle this in an automated fashion is a serious disappointment.

Hello butt_toast,

Thank you for your reply.

Could you provide a screenshot of where you're seeing these in the builder? While these were available in the Builder in an earlier version of the platform, for technical reasons they were removed from the Strategy Builder several versions ago.

We'd also like to check your log and trace files to confirm the version.

You can send these by going to the Control Center-> Help-> Email Support

Ensuring 'Log and Trace Files' is checked will include these files. This is checked by default.

Please reference the following ticket number in the body of the email: 2483114 ATTN Kate W.

Thanks in advance; I look forward to assisting you further.

Hello butt_toast,

Thank you for your reply.

What version of the platform are you currently running? The current version is 8.0.23.2 - you can check your version under Help > About.

Thanks in advance; I look forward to assisting you further.

8.0.23.2 64-bit

Also, to clarify my first question: in this thread it was stated that VWAP and CVD were not available in strategy builder. In strategy builder they are available. I included them (along with an additional tick data series as per another similar thread). The strategy shows as enabled but places no trades during market replay (tick replay enabled).

I just started experimenting with strategy builder as a way to start to learn ninja script.

The very first thing I did was attempt to build a strategy using vwap and cumulative volume delta.

I'm confused that these tools were available despite reading in this thread that they are/were not available in strategy builder.

Can you please clarify this?

Could you also put a vote in for me to allow Order Flow items in the Strategy Builder?

Thank you

Hello MarianoVenditti,

Thank you for your reply.

There is not a setting for the ADL indicator to allow it to reset each day; however, it would be possible to modify the indicator to do so. This would require you to copy the existing ADL indicator and manually code the logic for it to cumulate daily and then reset.

Just to be clear, in platform support, we do not create/write custom indicators, we do not provide debugging services. We also cannot provide programming education services. If you would like the modified indicator created for you, we can provide references to 3rd party programmers who could meet your needs.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.
