Cannot plot MAEnvelopes with M1 calculations on 1-tick chart in Strategy Analyzer

[toti1981]

Hi All,

i struggle since few days to get MAEnvelopes (with M1 calculations) plotted on the Strategy Analyzer 1-tick chart (within a Strategy)
I manage to plot it with 1-tick calc, but not with M1 on 1-tick. Below is the code

private MAEnvelopes MA_Env;


protected override void OnStateChange()
{
if (State == State.SetDefaults)
{
Description = @"Enter the description for your new custom Strategy here.";
Name = "Blabla";
Calculate = Calculate.OnEachTick;
EntriesPerDirection = 1;
EntryHandling = EntryHandling.UniqueEntries;
IsExitOnSessionCloseStrategy = false;
ExitOnSessionCloseSeconds = 30;
IsFillLimitOnTouch = false;
MaximumBarsLookBack = MaximumBarsLookBack.Infinite;
OrderFillResolution = OrderFillResolution.Standard;
Slippage = 0;
StartBehavior = StartBehavior.WaitUntilFlat;
TimeInForce = TimeInForce.Gtc;
TraceOrders = false;
RealtimeErrorHandling = RealtimeErrorHandling.StopCancelClose;
StopTargetHandling = StopTargetHandling.PerEntryExecution;
BarsRequiredToTrade = 2000;
IsInstantiatedOnEachOptimizationIteration    = true;

}
else if (State == State.Configure)
{
AddDataSeries(BarsPeriodType.Tick, 1);
AddDataSeries(BarsPeriodType.Minute, 1);
}
else if (State == State.DataLoaded)
{

MA_Env= MAEnvelopes(BarsArray[2], 0.05,Convert.ToInt32( 3), Convert.ToInt32(30));
AddChartIndicator(MA_Env);


SetStopLoss(@"", CalculationMode.Pips, Stoploss, false);
SetProfitTarget("", CalculationMode.Pips, Takeprofit);
}
}
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
.....

btw i also created custom MAEnvelopes and added following to it, but still didnt help:

else if (State == State.Configure)
{
AddDataSeries(BarsPeriodType.Minute, 1);

}

What i am doing wrong?
Help will be highly appreciated

Thanks

Hello toti1981,

Welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!

Are you trying to plot a higher time frame plot on a smaller time frame chart?

Below is a link to an example.

Hello Chelsea,

thanks for the link. I did use it and it worked, but plots are not recalculated on each tick even if i placed it on 1.tick. See chart below: left Strategy Analyzer chart vs right normal chart.
What i am doing wrong?


I used following code:

....
AddPlot(Brushes.Teal, "Plot1");
AddPlot(Brushes.Orange, "Plot2");
}
else if (State == State.Configure)
{
AddDataSeries(BarsPeriodType.Minute, 1);

}
else if (State == State.DataLoaded)
{
MA_EnvTeal = MAEnvelopes(Closes[1], 0.05,3, 30);
MA_EnvOrange = MAEnvelopes(Closes[1], 0.05,3, 90);


....

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{

if (BarsInProgress == 0 && CurrentBars[0] > 0)
{
Values[0][0] = MA_EnvTeal.Middle[0];
Values[2][0] = MA_EnvTeal.Upper[0];
Values[4][0] = MA_EnvTeal.Lower[0];
// extend the larger time frame for each primary bar so there are consecutive bars set so we can see it on the chart
if (!Values[1].IsValidDataPoint(0))
Values[1][0] = Values[1][1];
}
if (BarsInProgress == 1 && CurrentBars[1] > 0)
{
Values[1][0] = MA_EnvOrange.Middle[0];
Print(Values[1][0]);
Values[3][0] = MA_EnvOrange.Upper[0];
Print(Values[3][0]);
Values[5][0] = MA_EnvOrange.Lower[0];
Print(Values[5][0]);

}

Hello toti1981,

Are you referring to the Calculate setting?

In historical data this always OnBarClose unless TickReplay is enabled and the data source supports historical tick data.

Below are links to the help guide on TickReplay.
