Getting the Total # of Contracts

[NinjaCustomer]

How can I get the Total # of Buy Contracts that are listed in the DOM ?

(and how about Total # of Sell Contracts) ?

thanks

Hi NinjaCustomer,

Thank you for posting.

There is no correlation to use NinjaScript to access any info from the SuperDOM.

Each Strategy is a separate instance that is used in the chart system.

This will allow the script to use the historical data to calculate the entry/exit conditions that would be needed for the code.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

maybe I'm misunderstanding where I should be looking for the data...

all I want to do is to code something using the same kind of data that the NinjaTrader BuySellVolume indicator uses... where does BuySellVolume get its data about the # of contracts bought and sold from? with what API calls? thanks

NinjaCustomer,

The BuySellVolume indicator calculates if Close[0] >= GetCurrentAsk() or if Close[0] <= GetCurrentBid()
It then uses this information to plot the indicator with the bid and ask volume.

And calculate ask or bid by price ...is there an API or subfunction to do that? Tnx

Ketron82,

You can use OnMarketData() to use when bid or ask prices come in.

Many thanks...I opened another thread ("Simple Total FootPrint Bid x Ask") and now I'm testing the OnMarketData() function.
Many thanks again
