Hi,
I am struggling to find how to start building an indicator based on a volume chart.

Example-- I have chosen to display a chart based on volume(5000) instead of time, ticks range etc.
Now I want to add an indicator to this volume 5000 chart based on 1000 volume. Its similar to for example having a 60 min chart but also displaying 1 min on it.

Any ideas.

Thanks,

Hi SuperDriveGuy, unfortunately multi-instrument charting is not supported in NinjaTrader 6.5. However, NinjaTrader 7 will support this.

This screenshot is a quick example of how NT7 can plot not only two series at once, but also how indicators can use data from other data series. The top series (ES 5M) has a SMA plotted on it that uses information from the 1M ES series.

Hi Austin,
Thanks for your quick response.

I am not looking for MultiInstrument but a single instrument indicator, which plots with PeriodType.Volume.

SuperDriveGuy, I'm not sure I understand what you're looking for, could you please clarify? The process for creating an indicator for volume based charts is exactly the same as for time based charts.

Hi Austin,
I got your original point now. MultiInstrument is what I would be looking for.

Waiting for NT7 then!
Thanks
