modifying bars

[mmtrader]

Support,

In nt 7, can one can modify the open and close values to develop custom bars...

Like,can one do like below or something similar
Open[0] = Open[0] +...
Close[0] = Close[0] + ...

The HeikenAshi bars do that and produce resource efficient Heikenashi bar type. Anyway to do something similar without using drawobjects ?


Thanks

mmtrader,

You can make your own bar types just like in 6.5, but we will not be able to offer any support or guidance in doing so.

Thankyou Josh. Is there any information/post regarding this in general for making bar types?

Just want to confirm,in nt 7,..that one can assign values to Open[0] or Close[0].

Like for example
Open[0] = Open[0] +...

Thanks

Unfortunately this is beyond what we provide support for.

No problem Dierk.

I appreciate if any fellow ninja traders, can provide their input/experiences. Trying to understand if new bar types can be created,without using draw objects.

Also in nt7,is there anywhere the heiken ashi bar type code can be seen. When a new bar types is loaded in ninja,in which folder does the code reside and is it readable/editable?

Thanks
