Someone asked me on my blog if this is possible, I tried to do it in Ninja but failed. I tried it in Sierra and succeeded. I did a little video for the guy on my blog, so thought I'd share it here. Enjoy.
There is an obvious problem, however, as the lines are not being plotted in the correct location.
The screenshot below is from your video and shows that the high and low use their own scale, which is different from the chart scale. The Globex High at 1309.25 is drawn at around 1303.50, while the Globex Low at 1297.00 is drawn at around 1293.00. Not yet quite useful.
It is true that I have not been able to achieve this with NinjaTrader. If I load a secondary bar series via indicator, I am not free to select a session template, which is different from the template of the primary chart. So this is not possible.
Thanks for spotting that! I've fixed it now, what you need to do is on the pit session chart, set the Scale to "Same as Region". I had it set to Independent.
Here's the chart now:
The other thing you could do is link the time periods using chart linking, so that when you change to a tick chart, minute chart or whatever, they both stay in sync. Might do the vid again, lol.
The way I have been plotting the Globex high and low is I use the high/low for time period study in sierra charts and change the times and names and check the name label box. My times are set to 16:30est- 9:29:59, can someone tell me if those times are correct.
I'm using NT8. What I am trying to avoid is having an ETH 5M secondary data series up since it causes a large horizontal gap btw the RTH plots obviously.
I tried using a 1020M second series (330pm - 930am CST) in transparent on top of the RTH chart but wasn't able to call the H/L of that 1 bar.
NinjaTrader 8 makes it easier to display GLOBEX highs and lows on a RTH chart. However, you would need to write an indicator that loads a secondary bar series. With NinjaTrader 8 it is possible that the secondary bars use a different trading hours template (for example ETH) than the primary bars (RTH in your case). That way the indicator may load full session data and perform calculations as requested.
Another option is to let the indicator load daily bars. This will work for you if your daily chart is an ETH (Globex) chart where the daily bars are built from the full session open, GLOBEX high, GLOBEX low and settlement price.
In case that your datafeed supplies daily bars (ETH), you may also use the amaPivotsDaily indicator to display full session high and low on a RTH chart. Please see chart attached.
The indicator is available in the download section of the forum:
Version 2.6 July 4, 2018
The Session Pivots Daily is an enhanced pivots indicator which allows for displaying floor pivots, wide pivots, Jackson Zones and Fibonacci pivots.
All pivots are calculated from daily bars (default setting) or from the …
