Better Volume Indicator

[Jonners]

I have the Better Volume indicator for N7. When selected the indicator paints the candles when certain criteria is met by the program but what I would like to do is to is add a audible alerts to the paint bars. I cannot program but would like to know how could get this done.

Hello Jonners,

Thank you for your post.

This does require a little programming. You will have to edit the indicator and add an alert or sound statement to the block that changes the color. Some example statements are available in the links below:

Hi Jonners,

Please share the file and I'll take a look. Should be a .cs file in My Documents\NinjaTrader\bin\Custom\indicator

Here is a block that changes color.

if (paintbars && bc > 0) BarColor = Plots[bc].Pen.Color;

To add an alert, that plays sound, you could make this change:

 
if (paintbars && bc > 0) 
{
BarColor = Plots[bc].Pen.Color;
Alert("myAlert", NinjaTrader.Cbi.Priority.High, "Reached threshold", "Alert1.wav", 10, Color.Black, Color.Yellow);
}

Hello [email protected],

Thank you for your response.

I am not aware of a Better Volume indicator for NinjaTrader 8. Can you link over the NinjaTrader 7 version on this forum that you are looking for in NinjaTrader 8?

I look forward to your response.

Here is the link:

I am interested in the Better volume and the better X-Trend indicators

The Emini watch post says that the Better volume is NT7 and NT8 but I am not able to load the indicator on my NT8 platform. It says the indicator was made for an older version. Here is the link again.

Hello [email protected],

Thank you for your response.

In the file you download named 'BetterVolume_NT7_and_NT8.zip' there should be another file named 'BetterVolume_Free_NT8.zip' that you should be able to import into NinjaTrader 8. You would need to export the 'BetterVolume_Free_NT8.zip' from the 'BetterVolume_NT7_and_NT8.zip' file.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

I was able to load the indicator in but I do not see it in my indicator list from the script editor . But it is listed as indicators to use on the charts. Now question is can I use this indicator in a script. I can not find the source.
