Default Current Bar Open Equals Previous Bar Close

Is there a way to set this on the chart?

Hi ramacan, welcome to our support forums - unfortunately not, but you could code a simple indicator in NinjaScript showing you this condition with a change in BarColor for example - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H.../BarColor.html

Here are your indicator coding tutorials - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...verview18.html

Bernard, thanks for the quick reply but it's not a condition. Some charting software (forex) the current bar open always equals the previous bar close (except going into the weekend) or there is an option for you to select that the current bar open should equal the previous bar close.

Thanks for clarifying - how would this chart type be called? I think the closest would be using our Range bars then...

You can select this chart type as one of your interval setting options - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...ingAChart.html
