Chameleon

Chameleon was specifically created to provide any price data available from NinjaTrader. Any time frame, any bar type, and Any instrument. With Chameleon, you can feed price data from the DOW index in to an SMA(for example) on an S&P500 chart.

Parameters

Lookback

Use Alternate Instrument or Timeframe

When False price data will come from the default chart. When True the parameters below will appear allowing alternate price data to be selected and used. Please note, there is a NinjaTrader issue that may cause BloodHound to trigger “SiBloodHound detected out of order bars, bars are being skipped” error message when this setting is True. See the description below in the blue info box.

NinjaTrader has an issue and when Alternate Instrument/TimeFrame is set to True, it may arise. This issue happens randomly. We have submitted this to NinjaTrader support. You can read their response at… http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/forum/showthread.php?t=67415

Here is a brief explanation of the Ninja issue. Think of BloodHound as the parent indicator, and SiChameleon or any other indicator you load into BloodHound as the child indicators. The issue occurs when the child indicator loads its own secondary/alternate time-frame data, which is what Chameleon does when Alternate Instrument/TimeFrame is being used. (IE, such as a custom SMA indicator that uses 5 minute chart data to display a 5 Minute SMA on any chart you want). NinjaTrader sometimes does not load the SMA’s 5 minute data correctly inside the child indicator. When this happens NinjaTrader will not calculate the child indicator, and therefore skips bars.
