LOL. It automatically adjusts to the session templates, also to multiple sessions. If you use a bar timer, I could change the position on the chart, for example allow for 4 different positions to choose from.

I was wondering how Ninja knows when a session begins or ends. I know it parses the Session template record for a given symbol but how does it address a particular session if for example there are three sessions defined in the template ?

Do you have commands like ...

if application.session.id = 3 then
or
debug.print application.session.count

Is it that simple, or do you need to define your own function to get this information ?

Thanks

...There is nothing like a Session ID. The whole concept of sessions can still be improved by specifying which is the first session of the trading day. There is no such field that can be entered into the master data of NinjaTrader, I have seen that for other software packages though.

When i was programming i was used to the concept of collection or list that Microsoft uses extensively in all his software. I always thought it was a good idea as it facilitates the coding of an application.

For example, you can think about indicators on a chart as a collection, Bars on a chart as another collection, Session might be another collection which might contain x item(s) etc. When you think in terms of list or collection then you can think about a common way to access any particular item.

Ex.:

---
Ninja.Charts.Count
Ninja.Sessions.Count
Ninja.Bars.Count

Ninja.Charts[2].indicator[3]
Ninja.Sessions[2].item[3]
Ninja.Bars[101].High

Etc.


To achieve this level of sophistication, you need to define an object model which makes sense. I have not been able to find one public object model for Ninja that is available for viewing anywhere.
