Milti-series charts

Wow, cool.

My question is about indicators on such charts. Say a volume indicator, would you be able to chart say a 1 min and 2 min volume indicators all in one chart?

Yes you can. You can mix any type of series (time frame, type and instruments) as well as apply any indicator on any of these series.

Can the screen be divided into quadrants? instead of one on top of the other?

No. Chart panels can only stack vertically. However, you could open 4 separate chart windows.

Will it now be possible to chart spreads in NT7? Either one instrument minus another or one minus a multiple of another (or vice versa)?

You will be able to chart spreads as an indicator. What you will not be able to do is create a synthetic instrument of multi-instruments and chart it as chart style meaning, candlestick etc...

Just wondering about horizontal scaling on multi-series charts in upcoming NT7.

Suppose I have a chart of a stock (panel 0) and below it in the same chart (panel 1) I have a stochastic 1 Minute, and below that, I have a stochastic 5 minute (panel 2). Normally on a chart with indicators they all scale the same--which makes sense since the crosshair would align to the same point on the x-axis.

But suppose that you wanted to scale each indicator differently. Would that be possible? I know that's a bit strange but it would be nice if you could put something like that in NT7. Decouple the crosshair in each panel(but also be able to link them as desired). Or is it already like that in NT7. So for example, I wish I could link panel 0 and panel 2 and so when I x-scale panel 0 or panel 2, they both scale on the x-axis. But panel 1 and 3 would not scale.

The reason I ask is because sometimes it's easier to see indicators when they are scaled differently. Right now, I open up a chart, add an indicator, then shrink the chart panel, so that I only see the indicator. I do this a few times, so I have a few indicators in different time frames and in different time scales.

I hope you guys can add that if it's not already in there.

Interesting idea however, this will not be supported in NT unfortunately.

Hi,
I have 10min sp500 in panel 1 and 1min ES in panel2 and 55 tick in panel 3. I have my 10min as a BOX and when 9;30 eastern time starts it throw my 1min and 55 tick way over to the left, but when i compress the chart to see 10min the 1min and the 55 tick , the 55 tick is crunch, if i but it to normal u cant see the 10min but every thing is way to the left of the chart until the 9:40 time comes around . Is there away to set the open on the 10 min to displayat 9:30 instead of 9:40 this way everything can be line up to see .

Jack

Hello Jacka777,

Thank you for your post and welcome to the NinjaTrader support forum!


NinjaTrader stamps a bar with the closing time of the bar. For example, a 10 minute bar with a time of 9:40:00 AM has data from 9:30:00 AM through 9:39:59 AM.

As such, the 10 minute chart is opening at 9:30, not 9:40.
