Interesting. Does it allow you to replay anyday, or just todays? Does this work with all their supported brokers?

NinjaTrader allows you to replay any day you have recorded data for and it will work with all of our supported market data vendors and brokerage technologies.

Hello Ray,

Some time back, you had mentioned that the ability to fix the y-scale of a panel (i.e. price scale or volume scale) was on the list of future enhancements?

Can you provide a status update to this enhancement?

Thanks for any insight

Sure, enhanced scaling options are part of our NT7 development schedule, beta later this year. However, a user submitted customer indicator that enables you to fix the Y scale of a panel does exist in our NinjaScript File Sharing section of our support forum.

Tums, thanks for kindly sharing the script.
Here are some minor improvements:
- laterals - horizontal lines extended until a bar closes outside the lateral
- outside bars - can be toggled on/off, default is off
- text offset input changed to % - allows easier usage with equities
- commented out vertical lines for less clutter
- works on daily and weekly charts

Due to a bug in TradeStation, lines of code that remove labels inside a lateral (for less clutter) have to be commented out for the script to work - indicated by asterisks. The code works as is in MultiCharts.

Version 1.3

Modified Lateral as needing two closes Outside them to 'kill' the formation (end it).

	LatLo=0;
end;

i would love to have some information on the JH volume indicator if possible.

i would like to try to correlate this indicator with my own stuff i coded and i therefore need to code it (on esignal). It is probably not very hard when you know how the volume gaussians are drawn and bar colors are obtained. Could anyone please share that with me?

i mean this

Auto Pace Lines for NT.

Palinuro, thank you for this. I've been struggling with this one for a while & always got stuck with the collection.

I am curious about one part:

[font=courier]// use only data between start and end times
if (ToTime(Time[0]) > (sessionBegin) && ToTime(Time[0]) < ( sessionEnd + (2 * period * 100)))[/font]

Does this mean you actually collect data two bars past the user specified end time ?
If so, what was the reasoning for this?

Just trying to learn. Thanks!

Data provider A:
1435 close of - 14772
1440 close of - 14875
1445 close of - 42719

Data provider B:
1435 close of - 14678
1440 close of - 12590
1445 close of - 42714

With 'data provider A', I think, the peak volume was evident early in the bar (PRV).

To anyone using IB as data feed:

IB streams its live data without a time stamp.
Your charting software assumes your computer time as the data arrives.
i.e. if your computer time is off, so will your chart's bar timing.

If you refresh your chart, your software requests "Historic" data from IB. This data is time stamped.
Your charting software will redraw the chart according to the time-stamped data.
Thus your chart might appear different after a refresh.

LostTrader,

sorry not to respond sooner, I've been dealing with physical and family crises and am away from home, so haven't been checking in.

NT timestamps the end of the bar, so the last bar is the session end time + 1 bar. And since the comparison is 'less than', another bar has to be added to that.

I have an improved version - breaks volume into deciles, handles a bug in NT, and filters for suspiciously low volume - that I'll post as soon as I get a chance. (I'm also installing everything on a new laptop - and having problems, as you'll see in my next post....)
