Alert indicator

[marcojabra]

I would like to know if there is any way for me to add an alert, different from those already available in ninjatrader, for example there are alerts to change the color of the candlestick, or a triangle or an arrow appears! My doubt is if I can add something custom for example a heart or a star, things like that, thanks!

Hello marcojabra,

Thanks for your post.

You could create a custom indicator that adds drawings to a chart when certain conditions occur by calling Draw methods in NinjaTrader 7.

For example, to draw a dot on the chart when a certain condition occurs, you would create your condition and call DrawDot() within that condition to draw a dot on the chart at a specified location.

See this help guide page about Drawing: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...t7/drawing.htm

DrawDot(): https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...t7/drawdot.htm

To change the color of a candle on the chart, BarColor could be used.

It would be possible to create a custom NinjaScript indicator in NinjaTrader 7.

NinjaScript indicators are created or modified by navigating to Tools > New NinjaScript > Indicator.

I've included some educational resources on C# and creating indicators from the NinjaTrader 7 help guide.
