    Perhaps, but I've never experienced a bar looking like that with NT 6.5 with the same datafeed (IB) and typical JHM indicators. Only today on NT 7 with stepan7's toolset.

    Would anyone using this toolset with IB's datafeed comment on whether or not they ever have seen what I described above?

    Even with this "hiccup" the toolset rocks!

    It's data feed or connection issue.

    Reload real time data (not historical) by hitting Shift+Ctrl+R.

    I am looking into the Trade Navigator scans for Equities.

    They seem to work OK :I isolated each criteria and tested it (eyeballling, and they seem to do the job), but they often come up empty:

    Does anybody have experience in this?

    Also, they seem to not include two of the original criteria (R2>80 and EPS >90)...anybody knows why?

    Thanks!

    And, another question:

    Check out these two charts:

    http://screencast.com/t/PG6mLuPaF8Q

    and:


    http://screencast.com/t/MXQE0sCD8w

    this is the same stock! the second chart is de-gapped, that's the only difference! Both are daily charts.

    Now, somewhere in this thread is a post where the first person posted a degap indicator (for NT I think)- sometime in 2008, AFTER the equities thread. And then Spyder got TN to de-gap as well when he published his Indicators.

    So- is it recommended to de-gap daily charts as well?
    Looking at the charts above, this can give a completely different picture, with a completely different trend.

    I find it hard to believe that a massive 4 year downtrend should somehow behidden within a chart where price actually improved 40%...?

  7. This is a summary of a recent conversation with the NT folks on their service board. The question revolves around the use of the indicator M1_Channels_v.02, a creation of amongst others, bigmoose.

    Post 1. My question
    Is it possible to have DISTINCT charts for say (ES-9-13/5 minutes) with a 9:30 AM ET to 4:15 PM ET time frame (ES-5-RT) and (ES-9-13/5 minutes) with a 24 hour time frame (ES-5-24), such that if I do something on one time frame it is not automatically duplicated in the other time frame?
    Presently, if I draw a channel with a user-developed NinjaScript 'indicator' (M1_Channels_v.02) on ES-5-RT, it is duplicated on ES-5-24 and vice-versa. This gets to be very messy when channel lines cross time boundaries. (See attachments below - the 24 hour chart is the first and then the RTH).

    Someone suggested to me that a way around this would be to have a 'chart time frame identifier' present which would then restrict the indicator to just the chart which had been specified, as in one with: an instrument = ES-9-13, a time interval = 5 minutes and a time frame = 9:30 to 4:15 or 24 hours.

    Post 2. NT response
    Generally a chart even with the same instrument should be completely separate from any other chart. The exception to this is global drawing objects.
    The indicator you have may be using global drawing objects. If so, the code would need to be edited so that the drawing objects are not global (removing the @ symbol at the beginning of the tag line).
    If the script is drawing global drawing objects each new object would have this tag and you would not be able to prevent this from occurring by changing any settings.

    Post 3. How to see the artifact
    This is the protocol:
    • Open NT
    • Go to File-New-Chart
    • Select ES (09-13)-New, then load Default Chart Template and click OK
    • Set the time frame to 5 min (my default has a 1 min time frame)
    • Go to Indicator and select M1_Channels and click New, then click OK
    • Construct a *channel which includes RTH and a chunk of ETH
    • Repeat the process from “Go to File-New-Chart” to “Go to Indicator”
    • Again select M1_Channels and click New, then OK
    • Now go to Data Series-Session template for this chart
    • Select CME US Index Futures RTH and click Apply then OK
    • Do not construct a *channel
    • Now go to Workspace and click Save
    • Exit NT
    • Open NT
    What you should see is that the *channel that you made in the ETH time frame has been transferred to the RTH time frame. FWIW, I have seen this anomaly since I began using this channel indicator. It is a very good indicator except for this failing and that’s why I’ve continued to use it.

    The bottom line from NT was because the code used to construct the indicator was non-proprietary, they couldn't "fix" the problem. Is there anyone, including bigmoose who would know how to address the issue?

    TIA

  10. That seems to have fixed the problem. Thank you very much nkhoi.
