Indicator: Using custom events to output the current Level II data book

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

Custom events allow you the flexibility to access indicator/price information whenever you deem it necessary. You do not need to wait for the next incoming tick or next bar update before you can process some code logic.

Key concepts in this example:

• Creating a custom event from a Timer object
• Printing Level II books whenever you receive a Timer event
