Can someone tell me how to get my ninjatrade screen to chart like below. If you would post a screen shot of what settings I need to set up. It appears this chart has some automatic drawing of the high and low of the prior day and it only shows active trading hour's activity. Those are the 2 features I can't determine how to set up properly and I am very new to ninjatrader.

Cheers.

In ninjatrader, go to the indicators list, scroll down to prior OHLC, and click on that indicator. Then, you can format it so that it only prints the prior H and prior Low, and I took a screen shot of the settings you would need to make it look like the picture you attached.

Then, right click on the chart, fo down to "properties"

In properties, set the start time to 9:30 AM (adjust to your own time, of course) and end time set to 4:15 PM (again adjusting for time zone).

If you want the session break lines, then you need to set those from the properties window as well.

Best Wishes,

I have downloaded Ninger Trader twice to use with trade station. What a waste. No support , no videos on set up. I dont understand how this firm stays in business. Astupid program with no directions.

I have been very pleased with Ninjatrader. My opinion of Ninjatrader, in fact, is the complete opposite of yours.

Here is a link to a support page:

Online Trading. NINJATRADER Support Center.

I agree with thales.

Even though I don't use NT (I prefer Sierra Chart with Interactive Brokers) I have looked at the material and downloaded and used versions of it. It and the material were good.

I open ninja trader with a blank page. Check the link you sent me with chart support. The video opens with a chart showing. No instruction on how to bring up the chart. After I downloaded it Ninja the second time it wiped out all my trade station charts.
Great for all you technically inclined people out there but I don't have hours to waste trying to figure out someones else's program.
I am one of those people who use the Internet as a tool. I don't get any enjoyment out of figuring out programming puzzles. I think this is a big mistake in the software industry because the people who write this stuff love this puzzle crap. I just find it frusting and a waste of my time.
I am not blasting you personally and thank you for your post trying to help but I am just pointing out what I think is problem for a lot of folks who are left out in the cold.

Try clicking on "file," then "new," then "chart."

Unfortunately, learning new things, such as how to use a new tool, requires time. No one can learn it for you if it is to have any value to yourself.

When you go to online support, look up "data connection" and "chart template." That should get you started.

May I suggest that before you try to go live with ninja using tradestation that you sign up for the free zen-fire demo and learn t use ninja itself first as a simple stand alone charting program. After you are comfortable with Ninja's workspaces and charting functions, then move forward with going live.

Best Wishes,
