Coding Multi Time Frame (MTF) Indicators with NinjaTrader
Not a programming question but more of a question what am i not seeing....Find attached 3 charts of Silver, Crude Oil and FESX. I used the drop down menu from the same chart to switch to each future's contract. On the FESX chart, I can not get the visualema to color the bars correctly. I can pull any symbol up and it colors the bars correctly. For some strange odd reason that I am stumped, I can't pull up FESX. I normally wouldn't fret on this, but I love this indicator and FESX to trade. I have tried opening a new chart, same results. I have tried reloading ninjascript for the chart, same results. I am totally stumped why this is only happening on this one particular future's contract. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

I have an indi that plots a series of levels on a 5 min chart that I'd like to display on all charts of the same instrument, like NT allows a built-in horizontal line to do. Haven't been able to get this working though for an indi. Is this possible?
Does anyone know how to insert a drawing tool (like a trend line)on one chart and then the same inserted drawing tool show up on the another chart. For instance if I draw a trend line on the 15 minute TF and I have a 5 minute TF chart next to it, the …
Would it be possible to construct a multi time frame SuperTrend. A SuperTrend based on higher time frame could filter out wipsaws on a native time frame SuperTrend
You can often create a higher time frame version of an indicator by simply changing the parameters. This solution is technically superior to loading secondary bars from a different bar series.
The SuperTrend uses 3 parameters
- the period for the baseline
- the period for the offset smoothing
- the offset multiplier
If you wish to calculate the SuperTrend for a higher timeframe, say a timeframe (x3), then you would need
- multiply the baseline period by 3
- multiply the offset period by 3
- multiply the offset multiplier by SQRT(3)
The chart attached shows a dual SuperTrend with a lower and a higher timeframe. The higher timeframe was chosen as (x3). The blue areas show an uptrend for both timeframes. The red areas show a downtrend for both time frames. The gray areas show where higher and lower timeframe are in contradiction.
