Chart Operation
Using the Harmonic Patterns Indicator in a chart is very straightforward. Just load the indicator into your NinjaTrader chart and it will immediately display all patterns found in the historical data, as well as any pending patterns or potential patterns that may be available. When you change the chart symbol and/or bar interval, the display will update immediately. You can fine-tune the operation of the indicator via Settings.
While It is recommended that you use one of our pre-installed Chart templates (see Quick Start) to load the Harmonic Patterns Indicator into your chart, there may be times where using a template does not make sense. In those situations follow the instructions below to manually load just the harmonic patterns indicator..

Only one copy of the Harmonic Patterns Indicator should be loaded into a chart at any given time. However if you have multiple charts open, each chart can have a copy of the Harmonic Patterns Indicator running.
