Opening and Last Close

[NinjaTrader_RyanM]

Hi Occam,

I'm sorry - I don't follow.

If you're using CurrentDayOHL in an indicator, it needs to be applied to an intraday series. Your steps indicated you applied this to a daily series.

Have you changed the series for this indicator to intraday (60 minute)? What are your results?

[occam]

I know I am getting confused myself. I have an indicator that, among other things, uses a daily moving average of the highs and the current day's open price. So through the day these inputs should be static, but I have not sorted out how to get these values in code yet.

[NinjaTrader_RyanM]

It sounds like your indicator requires multiple series. I would get the values you expect for each component independently, in two separate indicators, and then work on creating a multiseries indicator from this.

How do I access the day's open in code?

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Hi occam, you can use the CurrentDayOHL indicator for this task - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...entDayOHL.html

[occam]

I am using Print(CurrentDayOHL().CurrentOpen[0].ToString()); and I get a number that keeps changing through the day.

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Which chart and provider are you working on? Are you sure you're checking the value for the last Day and not the historical values for the other days?

Please compare directly to the indicator value when it's plotting on your chart.

I am using DTN IQ.

I am not doing any charting.

Hi Occam,

Charting is useful to compare values and see visually what is happening.

Please post some screenshots of your setup including the column configuration for your indicator.

namespace NinjaTrader.Indicator
{
public class Key : Indicator
{

protected override void Initialize()
{
Add(PeriodType.Day, 1);
Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.MediumAquamar ine), PlotStyle.Line, "Key1"));
Overlay = false;
CalculateOnBarClose = true;
}

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
double f1 = CurrentDayOHL().CurrentOpen[0];

Print(Instrument.FullName.ToString());
Print(CurrentDayOHL().CurrentOpen[0].ToString());

Print(f1.ToString());



Key1.Set(f1);
}

}
}

From the looks of it you still have this indicator applied to a daily series.

Please see my screenshot and set it up like this.

[occam]

No good.

It reports MSFT's open as 25.12 but it opened at 24.59

[NinjaTrader_RyanM]

What does a chart look like with the same indicator, series, and session template applied?

[occam]

Lets try a different approach. How would you access the opening 24.59 for MSFT in code?

Is it even possible in NT?

[NinjaTrader_RyanM]

We can't help you get a specific number.

First- look at your MSFT chart on daily to see what NinjaTrader displays.

If you want this value programatically - It's Open[0] with CalculateOnBarClose = false, on a daily series.
