Once you have installed NinjaTrader 8<\/strong><\/a> and connected your data feed, a how-to guide here for connecting data feeds to NinjaTrader 8<\/a><\/strong>, you can now create Constant Volume Bar Charts. <\/p>\n

In the NinjaTrader toolbar, select the New dropdown and then Chart.<\/p>\n

Select the Instrument you would like to display on the chart via the dropdown. Once you select an instrument, under the Data Series properties, change the chart type to Volume.<\/p>\n

After selecting a chart type, you can also change the “speed” of the chart by changing the value in the Data Series Properties.<\/p>\n

We also recommend changing the Load data based on<\/strong> dropdown to Days. Then adjust the Days to Load value to however much data you would like to view.<\/p>\n

PRICEPhysics recommends using OHLC bars for traders of all skill levels. To select OHLC bars, select the Chart style<\/strong> dropdown and pick OHLC.<\/p>\n

You can also adjust the bar width, spacing, and colors in this property tab. <\/p>\n

PRICEPhysics recommends OHLC bars because of the simplicity of the bar. Traders of all skill levels can visually identify each element of the individual bars. <\/p>\n
