ADX values

[Inversehelix]

Hi,

I'm more interested in the slope of the ADX than its overall value, but since the ADX that comes with ninja can't snap the cursor to the candle I need to find a way to display the values.

Since I'm probably going to have to code something (though I have zero experience with it), I'd like to output the change in ADX from candle to candle on the charts and to a market analyzer window, but if that seems too involved for a coding newbie I'm perfectly happy just getting the values somewhere (anywhere) and doing the math myself.

does anyone have any input on the best and most efficient way to go about this?

thanks

Hello,

Thanks for the note and welcome to the NinjaTrader support forum.

Although we cannot code an indicator for you we can answer specific questions you have on getting started. We also have NinjaScript consultants that can code a project for you if you just want to have it coded let me know if you want the link to where these are located.

As far as your indicator idea here should be very simple to build, basically you would need to take the ADX value of the bar before it and subtract the adx value of the current bar to get the difference. Once you have the difference you could plot this or output it how you wish.

Plot0.Set(ADX[1] - ADX[0]);

Thanks for the response!

I guess I wans't clear that I wans't looking for someone here to just code it for me and I'm willing to learn, I just have no idea where to start because it's all so foreign to me.

The more I think of it, though the more I think I should use one of your partners so if you could post or send the link it would be much appreciated. thanks!

Understood.

You can contact one of our NinjaScript consultants to assist you with coding this or you can use our NinjaScript guide and forums to code this indicator yourself if you are a programmer.
